Possible Causes

Please check the Requirements of Squish for Qt .

Configuring Qt libraries in a different path

Please see Warning Trying to load a different Qt GUI library .

Incorrect working directory

The working directory in the test suite settings is not configured, or set to a path that is not expected by the application.

Try to set the working directory in the test suite settings to a path that the application expects, or choose "Path of Application Binary".
