Test suite for Qt api

[r1z0r]

Hi, I'm doing a research work about testing object libraries. I couldn't find any tests for qt api functions, I know there is a unit testing tool qtestlib for testing applications written with qt. I need to know how was qt tested, I assume that it hasn't been tested with qtestlib.

It's being tested with qtestlib (that's what it was written for in the first place) and Valgrind. Probably also by Squish and/or KD Executor, but I'm not sure of that.

Thank you for reply, do you know where can I get those test suites? It seems that they don't provide, tests for their library. Many libraries have their tests in source code, like gcc or OpenGL(mesa).

You can't. Unless you manage to convince QtSoftware to give some of them to you.

They test it, isn't that enough?

Ok, I'll try.

Of course it's enough, but for my work it's not enough, because I don't know how much of code is covered, how much of code was written and etc., all I know now is that unit testing was used. I'll try to contact developers and ask them, or investigate other object oriented libraries. Thanks for replies

Try contacting a guy called Harald Fernengel, he's the one who created Qt TestLib in the first place. Also the current release manager (AFAIK it's still Thiago Macieira) can help you.
