squish
Squish is an effect in internal combustion engines which creates sudden turbulence of the air-fuel mixture as the piston approaches top dead centre (TDC). In an engine designed to use the squish effect, at top dead centre the piston crown comes very close (typically less than 1 mm) to the cylinder head.The gases are suddenly 'squished' out within the combustion chamber, creating turbulence. The Squish GUI testing tool, a 100% cross-platform tool, comes with a range of unique features, such as reliable object identification and verification independent of screen layouts, resolution and rendering, a powerful IDE, support for several script languages, fully integrated support for BDD (Behavior Driven Development), remote testing, multi-application and device testing, CI-, Test-Management and ALM.
