+ \class QSignalSpy
+ \inmodule QtTest
+
+ \brief The QSignalSpy class enables introspection of signal emission.
+
+ QSignalSpy can connect to any signal of any object and records its emission.
+ QSignalSpy itself is a list of QVariant lists. Each emission of the signal
+ will append one item to the list, containing the arguments of the signal.
+
+ The following example records all signal emissions for the \c clicked() signal
+ of a QCheckBox:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qsignalspy.cpp 0
+
+ \c{spy.takeFirst()} returns the arguments for the first emitted signal, as a
+ list of QVariant objects. The \c clicked() signal has a single bool argument,
+ which is stored as the first entry in the list of arguments.
+
+ The example below catches a signal from a custom object:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qsignalspy.cpp 1
+
+ \bold {Note:} Non-standard data types need to be registered, using
+ the qRegisterMetaType() function, before you can create a
+ QSignalSpy. For example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qsignalspy.cpp 2
+
+ To retrieve the \c QModelIndex, you can use qvariant_cast:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qsignalspy.cpp 3
