Does Qt-Creator have support for Unit Tests?

Question

I started off using Qt-Creator to try out programming qt, but i've also noticed that its a very good IDE for coding in C and C++.

Over the past few months I have been trying out and noticing the benefits of test-driven development when programming in Python through these of frameworks like nose which is supported in the pycharm IDE.

Does C++ and C have an equivalent test framework that can be used in Qt Creator? If not, is there some other IDE I can try that supports the same (or similar) integration that pycharm offers?

Answer 1

Yes, it does. You can read about how to make unit tests on QT using their QTestLib tutorial.

If you want a framework that doesn't require the use of Qt libraries, you can use googletest, which is a Google's framework and run under many enviroments (like mLinux, Mac OS X, Windows, Cygwin, Windows CE, and Symbian - taken from googletest docs)

Also, if you want to know about more C++ Unit Testing frameworks, you can take a look at the wikipedia page. There are plenty of options over there.

Answer 2

there is library QTestLib.

Citing from QtCreator documentation:

The QTestLib framework, provided by Nokia, is a tool for unit testing Qt based applications and libraries. QTestLib provides all the functionality commonly found in unit testing frameworks as well as extensions for testing graphical user interfaces.
