    \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 2.0
    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")
        }
    }
    \endcode

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

    \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}.
    for example:

    \code
    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:

    \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

    \section1 Running tests with QtQuick 1

    The \c{-qtquick1} option can be passed to a test binary to run
    the tests using QDeclarativeView (QtQuick 1) rather than QQuickView (QtQuick 2):

    \code
    tst_example -qtquick1
    \endcode

    To run tests with either QtQuick 1 or QtQuick 2, use
    "import QtQuick 1.0" in your unit tests and then specify
    compatibility mode to the QtQuick2 engine:

    \code
    QMLSCENE_IMPORT_NAME=quick1 tst_example
    \endcode
