    \title AutotestRunner Item
    \brief A product that runs all autotests in the project.

    An \c AutotestRunner has a dependency to all products with the type "autotest". "Building"
    the \c AutotestRunner product will then run the respective executables. The \c builtByDefault
    property of an \c AutotestRunner is set to \c false by default, so running the autotests
    has to be explicitly requested. The default name of the product is "autotest-runner".
    To use this feature, do the following:
    \list A
        \li
            Attach the "autotest" type to your autotests:
            \code
            CppApplication {
                name: "tst_mytest"
                type: ["application", "autotest"]
                // ...
            }
            \endcode
        \li
            Instantiate exactly one \c AutotestRunner in your project, typically at the top level:
            \code
            Project {
                // ...
                AutotestRunner { }
                // ...
            }
            \endcode
        \li
            Trigger the autotest execution by "building" the product:
            \code
            qbs build -p autotest-runner
            \endcode
    \endlist

    \section1 AutotestRunner Properties

    \table
    \header
        \li Property
        \li Type
        \li Default
        \li Description
    \row
        \li arguments
        \li stringList
        \li empty
        \li The list of arguments to invoke the autotest with.
    \row
        \li environment
        \li stringList
        \li set internally
        \li A list of environment variables that are added to the run environment.
            They are provided as a list of strings in the form "varName=value".
            By default, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH, and DYLD_ROOT_PATH
            are set on macOS, or an empty list for other platforms.
    \row
        \li limitToSubProject
        \li bool
        \li \c true
        \li By default, only those autotests are considered that are in the same sub-project that
            the \c AutotestRunner was instantiated in. If you want to run all autotests regardless
            of their location in the project hierarchy, set this property to \c false.
    \row
        \li wrapper
        \li stringList
        \li empty
        \li Wrapper binary and its arguments for wrapping autotest calls.
            This is useful for tools like Valgrind and alike.
