+ \page qtquicktest-index.html
+ \title Qt Quick Test
+ \brief Unit testing framework for QML.
+
+ \target Introduction to Qt Quick Test
+ \section1 Introduction
+
+ \l {Qt Quick Test QML Types}{Qt Quick Test} is a unit test framework for QML applications.
+ Test cases are written as JavaScript functions within a \l [QML] TestCase
+ type:
+
+ \qml
+ import QtQuick 2.3
+ import QtTest 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")
+ }
+ }
+ \endqml
+
+ Functions whose names start with \c{test_} are treated as test cases
+ to be executed. See the documentation for the \l [QML] TestCase and
+ \l [QML] SignalSpy types for more information on writing test cases.
+
+ \note There is no binary compatibility guarantee for the Qt Quick Test
+ module. This means that an application that uses Qt Quick Test is
+ only guaranteed to work with the Qt version it was developed against.
+ However, source compatibility is guaranteed.
+
+ \target Running Qt Quick Tests
+ \section1 Running Tests
+
+ Test cases are launched by a C++ harness that consists of
+ the following code:
+
+ \snippet src_qmltest_qquicktest.cpp 1
+
+ Where "example" is the identifier to use to uniquely identify
+ this set of tests. Finally, add \c{CONFIG += qmltestcase} to the project
+ file:
+
+ \badcode
+ TEMPLATE = app
+ TARGET = tst_example
+ CONFIG += warn_on qmltestcase
+ SOURCES += tst_example.cpp
+ \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:
+
+ \badcode
+ tst_example -input /mnt/SDCard/qmltests
+ \endcode
+
+ It is also possible to run a single file using the \c{-input} option.
+ For example:
+
+ \badcode
+ tst_example -input data/test.qml
+ \endcode
+
+ \badcode
+ tst_example -input <full_path>/test.qml
+ \endcode
+
+ \note Specifying the full path to the qml test file is for example
+ needed for shadow builds.
+
+ If your test case needs QML imports, then you can add them as
+ \c{-import} options to the test program command-line.
+
+ If \c IMPORTPATH is specified in your .pro file, each import path added to \c IMPORTPATH
+ will be passed as a command-line argument when the test is run using "make check":
+
+ \badcode
+ IMPORTPATH += $$PWD/../imports/my_module1 $$PWD/../imports/my_module2
+ \endcode
+
+ The \c{-functions} command-line option will return a list of the current
+ tests functions. It is possible to run a single test function using the name
+ of the test function as an argument. For example:
+
+ \badcode
+ tst_example Test_Name::function1
+ \endcode
+
+ The \c{-help} command-line option will return all the options available.
+
+ \badcode
+ tst_example -help
+ \endcode
+
+ \section1 Executing C++ Before QML Tests
+
+ To execute C++ code before any of the QML tests are run, the
+ \l QUICK_TEST_MAIN_WITH_SETUP macro can be used. This can be useful for
+ setting context properties on the QML engine, amongst other things.
+
+ The macro is identical to \c QUICK_TEST_MAIN, except that it takes an
+ additional \c QObject* argument. The test framework will call slots and
+ invokable functions with the following names:
+
+ \table
+ \header
+ \li Name
+ \li Purpose
+ \row
+ \li \c {void applicationAvailable()}
+ \li Called right after the QApplication object was instantiated.
+ Use this function to setup everything that is not related
+ to QML directly.
+ \row
+ \li \c {void qmlEngineAvailable(QQmlEngine *)}
+ \li Called when the QML engine is available.
+ Any \l {QQmlEngine::addImportPath}{import paths},
+ \l {QQmlEngine::addPluginPath}{plugin paths},
+ and \l {QQmlFileSelector::setExtraSelectors}{extra file selectors}
+ will have been set on the engine by this point.
+ \row
+ \li \c {void cleanupTestCase()}
+ \li Called right after the test execution has finished.
+ Use this function to clean up before everything will start to be destructed.
+ \endtable
+
+ Each function will be called once for each \c {tst_*.qml} file, so any
+ arguments are unique to that test. For example, this means that each QML
+ test file will have its own QML engine.
+
+ The following example demonstrates how the macro can be used to set context
+ properties on the QML engine:
+
+ \snippet src_qmltest_qquicktest.cpp 2
+
+ The \c .moc include is based on the file name of the \c .cpp file.
+ For example, in the example above, the \c .cpp file is named
+ \c tst_mytest.cpp. If the file was named \c MyTest.cpp, the include would
+ be:
+
+ \code
+ #include "MyTest.moc"
+ \endcode
