    \title QtQuickTest Reference Documentation
    \keyword QtQuickTest Reference Documentation

    \section1 Introduction

    QtQuickTest is a unit test framework for Qt Quick (QML) applications.
    Test cases are written as JavaScript functions within a TestCase
    element:

    \code
    import QtQuick 1.0
    import QtQuickTest 1.0

    TestCase {
        name: "MathTests"

        function test_math() {
            compare(2 + 2, 4, "2 + 2 = 4")
        }

        function test_fail() {
            compare(2 + 2, 5, "2 + 2 = 5")
        }
    }
    \endcode

    Functions whose names start with \c{test_} are treated as test cases
    to be executed.  See the documentation for the \l TestCase element
    for more information on writing test cases.

    \section1 Building QtQuickTest

    The QtQuickTest source code can be obtained from
    \l{http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-labs/qtest-qml}{http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-labs/qtest-qml}
    and then built against Qt 4.7 as follows:

    \code
    $ /path/to/qt/bin/qmake qtest-qml.pro
    $ make
    $ make install
    \endcode

    The "make install" step copies the necessary libraries, plugins,
    and QML module definitions into the Qt build tree.

    You can then run "make check" to verify that the example tests
    pass correctly, and "make docs" to generate the HTML documentation
    under \c{doc/html}.

    \section1 Running tests

    Test cases are launched by a C++ harness that consists of
    the following code:

    \code
    #include <QtQuickTest/quicktest.h>
    QUICK_TEST_MAIN(example)
    \endcode

    Where "example" is an identifier to use to uniquely identify
    this set of tests.  You should add \c{CONFIG += qmltestcase} and
    a definition for \c{QUICK_TEST_SOURCE_DIR} to your .pro file;
    for example:

    \code
    TEMPLATE = app
    TARGET = tst_example
    CONFIG += warn_on qmltestcase
    SOURCES += tst_example.cpp
    DEFINES += QUICK_TEST_SOURCE_DIR=\"\\\"$$PWD\\\"\"
    \endcode

    The test harness scans the specified source directory recursively
    for "tst_*.qml" files.  If \c{QUICK_TEST_SOURCE_DIR} is not defined,
    then the current directory will be scanned when the harness is run.
    Other *.qml files may appear for auxillary QML components that are
    used by the test.

    The \c{-input} command-line option can be set at runtime to run
    test cases from a different directory.  This may be needed to run
    tests on a target device where the compiled-in directory name refers
    to a host.  For example:

    \code
    tst_example -input /mnt/SDCard/qmltests
    \endcode

    See \c{tests/qmlauto} in the source tree for an example of creating a
    test harness that uses the \c{QUICK_TEST_SOURCE_DIR} macro.

    If your test case needs QML imports, then you can add them as
    \c{-import} options to the the test program command-line by adding
    the following line to your .pro file:

    \code
    IMPORTPATH += $$PWD/../imports/my_module1 $$PWD/../imports/my_module2
    \endcode
