The KDE-specific edition announced above got replaced by the standard 
Squish for Qt edition provided to non-commercial open source projects for 
free.

I suggest you start out with a trial version


  https://www.froglogic.com/squish/free-trial/

and then let me know whether you consider it worth for permanent usage. 
I'll take care of a free license.

I'd suggest to automate the most common use cases first. An approach that 
is semi-standard is the description of tests using human-readable BDD 
feature files.

The main goal of regression testing is about a) relieving manual testers 
from repetitive tasks and b) find issues quicker by running the tests 
repeatedly and on several platforms. You'll end up with a coverage that is 
hard - if not impossible - to achieve through manual testing.
