GUI Event testing using QTestLib

[vels]

Hi,

How to unit test qt GUI events (keypress, keyrelease,mouseclick)?

I already gone through http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qtestlib-manual.html#creating-a-test

Are there any reference material/samples to start with event testing?

Thanks

What do you mean by "verify" in this context? I don't know what the backspace key is supposed to do in your case but you have to use the API of your window class to check if it did that. Use the macros provided by QTestLib for the comparison itself.
