\brief The QTest namespace contains all the functions and
declarations that are related to Qt Test.
See the \l{Qt Test Overview} for information about how to write unit tests.
*/
/*! \macro QVERIFY(condition)
\relates QTest
The QVERIFY() macro checks whether the \a condition is true or not. If it is
true, execution continues. If not, a failure is recorded in the test log
and the test won't be executed further.
You can use \l QVERIFY2() when it is practical and valuable to put additional
information into the test failure report.
\note This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked
by the test framework.
For example, the following code shows this macro being used to verify that a
\l QSignalSpy object is valid:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase_snippet.cpp 0
For more information about the failure, use \c QCOMPARE(x, y) instead of
\c QVERIFY(x == y), because it reports both the expected and actual value
when the comparison fails.
\sa QCOMPARE(), QTRY_VERIFY(), QSignalSpy, QEXPECT_FAIL()
*/
/*! \macro QVERIFY2(condition, message)
\relates QTest
The QVERIFY2() macro behaves exactly like QVERIFY(), except that it reports
a \a message when \a condition is false. The \a message is a plain C string.
The message can also be obtained from a function call that produces a plain
C string, such as qPrintable() applied to a QString, which may be built in
any of its usual ways, including applying \c {.args()} to format some data.
Example:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase.cpp 1
For example, if you have a file object and you are testing its \c open()
function, you might write a test with a statement like:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase.cpp 32
If this test fails, it will give no clue as to why the file failed to open:
\c {FAIL! : tst_QFile::open_write() 'opened' returned FALSE. ()}
If there is a more informative error message you could construct from the
values being tested, you can use \c QVERIFY2() to pass that message along
with your test condition, to provide a more informative message on failure:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase.cpp 33
If this branch is being tested in the Qt CI system, the above detailed
failure message will be inserted into the summary posted to the code-review
system:
\c {FAIL! : tst_QFile::open_write() 'opened' returned FALSE.
(open /tmp/qt.a3B42Cd: No space left on device)}
\sa QVERIFY(), QCOMPARE(), QEXPECT_FAIL()
*/
/*! \macro QCOMPARE(actual, expected)
\relates QTest
The QCOMPARE() macro compares an \a actual value to an \a expected value
using the equality operator. If \a actual and \a expected match, execution
continues. If not, a failure is recorded in the test log and the test
function returns without attempting any later checks.
Always respect QCOMPARE() parameter semantics. The first parameter passed to
it should always be the actual value produced by the code-under-test, while
the second parameter should always be the expected value. When the values
don't match, QCOMPARE() prints them with the labels \e Actual and \e
Expected. If the parameter order is swapped, debugging a failing test can be
confusing and tests expecting zero may fail due to rounding errors.
When comparing floating-point types (\c float, \c double, and \c qfloat16),
\l qFuzzyCompare() is used for finite values. If qFuzzyIsNull() is true for
both values, they are also considered equal. Infinities match if they have
the same sign, and any NaN as actual value matches with any NaN as expected
value (even though NaN != NaN, even when they're identical).
QCOMPARE() tries to output the contents of the values if the comparison fails,
so it is visible from the test log why the comparison failed.
Example:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase.cpp 2
\note This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked
by the test framework.
For your own classes, you can use \l QTest::toString() to format values for
outputting into the test log.
Example:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase_snippet.cpp 34
The return from \c toString() must be a \c {new char []}. That is, it shall
be released with \c delete[] (rather than \c free() or plain \c delete) once
the calling code is done with it.
\sa QVERIFY(), QTRY_COMPARE(), QTest::toString(), QEXPECT_FAIL()
*/
/*! \macro QVERIFY_EXCEPTION_THROWN(expression, exceptiontype)
\since 5.3
\relates QTest
The QVERIFY_EXCEPTION_THROWN macro executes an \a expression and tries
to catch an exception thrown from the \a expression. If the \a expression
throws an exception and its type is the same as \a exceptiontype
or \a exceptiontype is substitutable with the type of thrown exception
(i.e. usually the type of thrown exception is publicly derived
from \a exceptiontype) then execution will be continued. If not-substitutable
type of exception is thrown or the \a expression doesn't throw an exception
at all, then a failure will be recorded in the test log and
the test won't be executed further.
\note This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked
by the test framework.
*/
/*! \macro QTRY_VERIFY_WITH_TIMEOUT(condition, timeout)
\since 5.0
\relates QTest
The QTRY_VERIFY_WITH_TIMEOUT() macro is similar to QVERIFY(), but checks the \a condition
repeatedly, until either the condition becomes true or the \a timeout (in milliseconds) is
reached. Between each evaluation, events will be processed. If the timeout
is reached, a failure is recorded in the test log and the test won't be
executed further.
\note This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked
by the test framework.
\sa QTRY_VERIFY(), QTRY_VERIFY2_WITH_TIMEOUT(), QVERIFY(), QCOMPARE(), QTRY_COMPARE(),

*/
/*! \macro QTRY_VERIFY(condition)
\since 5.0
\relates QTest
Checks the \a condition by invoking QTRY_VERIFY_WITH_TIMEOUT() with a timeout of five seconds.
\note This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked
by the test framework.
\sa QTRY_VERIFY_WITH_TIMEOUT(), QTRY_VERIFY2(), QVERIFY(), QCOMPARE(), QTRY_COMPARE(),

*/
/*! \macro QTRY_VERIFY2_WITH_TIMEOUT(condition, message, timeout)
\since 5.6
\relates QTest
The QTRY_VERIFY2_WITH_TIMEOUT macro is similar to QTRY_VERIFY_WITH_TIMEOUT()
except that it outputs a verbose \a message when \a condition is still false
after the specified \a timeout (in milliseconds). The \a message is a plain C string.
Example:
\code
QTRY_VERIFY2_WITH_TIMEOUT(list.size() > 2, QByteArray::number(list.size()).constData(), 10000);
\endcode
\note This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked

/*! \macro QTRY_VERIFY2(condition, message)
\since 5.6
\relates QTest
Checks the \a condition by invoking QTRY_VERIFY2_WITH_TIMEOUT() with a timeout
of five seconds. If \a condition is then still false, \a message is output.
The \a message is a plain C string.
Example:
\code
QTRY_VERIFY2_WITH_TIMEOUT(list.size() > 2, QByteArray::number(list.size()).constData());
\endcode
\note This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked

/*! \macro QTRY_COMPARE_WITH_TIMEOUT(actual, expected, timeout)
\since 5.0
\relates QTest
The QTRY_COMPARE_WITH_TIMEOUT() macro is similar to QCOMPARE(), but performs the comparison
of the \a actual and \a expected values repeatedly, until either the two values
are equal or the \a timeout (in milliseconds) is reached. Between each comparison, events
will be processed. If the timeout is reached, a failure is recorded in the

\note This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked
by the test framework.
\sa QTRY_COMPARE_WITH_TIMEOUT(), QCOMPARE(), QVERIFY(), QTRY_VERIFY(),

*/
/*! \macro QFETCH(type, name)
\relates QTest
The fetch macro creates a local variable named \a name with the type \a type
on the stack. The \a name and \a type must match a column from the test's
data table. This is asserted and the test will abort if the assertion fails.
Assuming a test has the following data:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase.cpp 3
The test data has two elements, a QString called \c aString and an integer
called \c expected. To fetch these values in the actual test:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase.cpp 4
\c aString and \c expected are variables on the stack that are initialized with
the current test data.
\note This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked
by the test framework. The test function must have a _data function.
*/
/*! \macro QFETCH_GLOBAL(type, name)
\relates QTest
This macro fetches a variable named \a name with the type \a type from
a row in the global data table. The \a name and \a type must match a
column in the global data table. This is asserted and the test will abort
if the assertion fails.
Assuming a test has the following data:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase_snippet.cpp 30
The test's own data is a single number per row. In this case,
\c initTestCase_data() also supplies a locale per row. Therefore,
this test will be run with every combination of locale from the
latter and number from the former. Thus, with four rows in the
global table and three in the local, the test function is run for
12 distinct test-cases (4 * 3 = 12).
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase_snippet.cpp 31
The locale is read from the global data table using QFETCH_GLOBAL(),
and the number is read from the local data table using QFETCH().
\note This macro can only be used in test methods of a class with an
\c initTestCase_data() method.
*/
/*! \macro QWARN(message)
\relates QTest
\threadsafe
Appends \a message as a warning to the test log. This macro can be used anywhere
in your tests.
*/
/*! \macro QFAIL(message)
\relates QTest
This macro can be used to force a test failure. The test stops
executing and the failure \a message is appended to the test log.
\note This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked
by the test framework.
Example:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase.cpp 5
*/
/*! \macro QTEST(actual, testElement)
\relates QTest
QTEST() is a convenience macro for \l QCOMPARE() that compares
the value \a actual with the element \a testElement from the test's data.
If there is no such element, the test asserts.
Apart from that, QTEST() behaves exactly as \l QCOMPARE().
Instead of writing:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase.cpp 6
you can write:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase.cpp 7
\sa QCOMPARE()
*/
/*! \macro QSKIP(description)
\relates QTest
If called from a test function, the QSKIP() macro stops execution of the test
without adding a failure to the test log. You can use it to skip tests that
wouldn't make sense in the current configuration. For example, a test of font
rendering may call QSKIP() if the needed fonts are not installed on the test
system.
The text \a description is appended to the test log and should contain an
explanation of why the test couldn't be executed.
If the test is data-driven, each call to QSKIP() in the test function will
skip only the current row of test data, so an unconditional call to QSKIP()
will produce one skip message in the test log for each row of test data.
If called from an \c _data function, the QSKIP() macro will stop execution of
the \c _data function and will prevent execution of the associated test
function. This entirely omits a data-driven test. To omit individual rows,
make them conditional by using a simple \c{if (condition) newRow(...) << ...}
in the \c _data function, instead of using QSKIP() in the test function.
If called from \c initTestCase_data(), the QSKIP() macro will skip all test
and \c _data functions. If called from \c initTestCase() when there is no
\c initTestCase_data(), or when it only sets up one row, QSKIP() will
likewise skip the whole test. However, if \c initTestCase_data() contains
more than one row, then \c initTestCase() is called (followed by each test
and finally the wrap-up) once per row of it. Therefore, a call to QSKIP() in
\c initTestCase() will merely skip all test functions for the current row of
global data, set up by \c initTestCase_data().
\note This macro can only be used in a test function or \c _data
function that is invoked by the test framework.
Example:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase.cpp 8
\section2 Skipping Known Bugs
If a test exposes a known bug that will not be fixed immediately, use the
QEXPECT_FAIL() macro to document the failure and reference the bug tracking
identifier for the known issue. When the test is run, expected failures will
be marked as XFAIL in the test output and will not be counted as failures
when setting the test program's return code. If an expected failure does
not occur, the XPASS (unexpected pass) will be reported in the test output
and will be counted as a test failure.
For known bugs, QEXPECT_FAIL() is better than QSKIP() because a developer
cannot fix the bug without an XPASS result reminding them that the test
needs to be updated too. If QSKIP() is used, there is no reminder to revise
or re-enable the test, without which subsequent regressions will not be
reported.
\sa QEXPECT_FAIL(), {Select Appropriate Mechanisms to Exclude Tests}
*/
/*! \macro QEXPECT_FAIL(dataIndex, comment, mode)
\relates QTest
The QEXPECT_FAIL() macro marks the next \l QCOMPARE() or \l QVERIFY() as an
expected failure. Instead of adding a failure to the test log, an expected
failure will be reported.
If a \l QVERIFY() or \l QCOMPARE() is marked as an expected failure,
but passes instead, an unexpected pass (XPASS) is written to the test log.
The parameter \a dataIndex describes for which entry in the test data the
failure is expected. Pass an empty string (\c{""}) if the failure
is expected for all entries or if no test data exists.
\a comment will be appended to the test log for the expected failure.
\a mode is a \l QTest::TestFailMode and sets whether the test should
continue to execute or not.
\note This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked
by the test framework.
Example 1:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase.cpp 9
In the example above, an expected fail will be written into the test output
if the variable \c i is not 42. If the variable \c i is 42, an unexpected pass
is written instead. The QEXPECT_FAIL() has no influence on the second QCOMPARE()
statement in the example.
Example 2:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase.cpp 10
The above testfunction will not continue executing for the test data
entry \c{data27}.
\sa QTest::TestFailMode, QVERIFY(), QCOMPARE()
*/
/*! \macro QFINDTESTDATA(filename)
\since 5.0
\relates QTest
Returns a QString for the testdata file referred to by \a filename, or an
empty QString if the testdata file could not be found.
This macro allows the test to load data from an external file without
hardcoding an absolute filename into the test, or using relative paths
which may be error prone.
The returned path will be the first path from the following list which
resolves to an existing file or directory:
\list
\li \a filename relative to QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath()
(only if a QCoreApplication or QApplication object has been created).
\li \a filename relative to the test's standard install directory
(QLibraryInfo::TestsPath with the lowercased testcase name appended).
\li \a filename relative to the directory containing the source file from which
QFINDTESTDATA is invoked.
\endlist
If the named file/directory does not exist at any of these locations,
a warning is printed to the test log.
For example, in this code:
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase_snippet.cpp 26
The testdata file will be resolved as the first existing file from:
\list
\li \c{/home/user/build/myxmlparser/tests/tst_myxmlparser/testxml/simple1.xml}
\li \c{/usr/local/Qt-5.0.0/tests/tst_myxmlparser/testxml/simple1.xml}
\li \c{/home/user/sources/myxmlparser/tests/tst_myxmlparser/testxml/simple1.xml}
\endlist
This allows the test to find its testdata regardless of whether the
test has been installed, and regardless of whether the test's build tree
is equal to the test's source tree.
\note reliable detection of testdata from the source directory requires
either that qmake is used, or the \c{QT_TESTCASE_BUILDDIR} macro is defined to
point to the working directory from which the compiler is invoked, or only
absolute paths to the source files are passed to the compiler. Otherwise, the
absolute path of the source directory cannot be determined.
\note For tests that use the \l QTEST_APPLESS_MAIN() macro to generate a
\c{main()} function, \c{QFINDTESTDATA} will not attempt to find test data
relative to QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath(). In practice, this means that
tests using \c{QTEST_APPLESS_MAIN()} will fail to find their test data
if run from a shadow build tree.
*/
/*! \macro QTEST_MAIN(TestClass)
\relates QTest
Implements a main() function that instantiates an application object and
the \a TestClass, and executes all tests in the order they were defined.
Use this macro to build stand-alone executables.
If \c QT_WIDGETS_LIB is defined, the application object will be a QApplication,
if \c QT_GUI_LIB is defined, the application object will be a QGuiApplication,
otherwise it will be a QCoreApplication. If qmake is used and the configuration
includes \c{QT += widgets}, then \c QT_WIDGETS_LIB will be defined automatically.
Similarly, if qmake is used and the configuration includes \c{QT += gui}, then
\c QT_GUI_LIB will be defined automatically.
\note On platforms that have keypad navigation enabled by default,
this macro will forcefully disable it if \c QT_WIDGETS_LIB is defined. This is done
to simplify the usage of key events when writing autotests. If you wish to write a
test case that uses keypad navigation, you should enable it either in the
\c {initTestCase()} or \c {init()} functions of your test case by calling
\l {QApplication::setNavigationMode()}.

\fn template<typename T> char *QTest::toString(const T &value)
Returns a textual representation of \a value. This function is used by
\l QCOMPARE() to output verbose information in case of a test failure.
You can add specializations or overloads of this function to your test to enable
verbose output.
\note Starting with Qt 5.5, you should prefer to provide a toString() function
in the type's namespace instead of specializing this template.
If your code needs to continue to work with the QTestLib from Qt 5.4 or
earlier, you need to continue to use specialization.
\note The caller of toString() must delete the returned data
using \c{delete[]}. Your implementation should return a string
created with \c{new[]} or qstrdup(). The easiest way to do so is to
create a QByteArray or QString and call QTest::toString() on it
(see second example below).
Example for specializing (Qt ≤ 5.4):
\snippet code/src_qtestlib_qtestcase_snippet.cpp 16
The example above defines a toString() specialization for a class
called \c MyPoint. Whenever a comparison of two instances of \c
MyPoint fails, \l QCOMPARE() will call this function to output the
contents of \c MyPoint to the test log.

\brief The QTouchEventSequence class is used to simulate a sequence of touch events.
To simulate a sequence of touch events on a specific device for a window or widget, call
QTest::touchEvent to create a QTouchEventSequence instance. Add touch events to
the sequence by calling press(), move(), release() and stationary(), and let the
instance run out of scope to commit the sequence to the event system.
Example:

/*!
\fn QTest::QTouchEventSequence::~QTouchEventSequence()
Commits this sequence of touch events, unless autoCommit was disabled, and frees allocated resources.
*/
/*!
\fn void QTest::QTouchEventSequence::commit(bool processEvents)
Commits this sequence of touch events to the event system. Normally there is no need to call this
function because it is called from the destructor. However, if autoCommit is disabled, the events
only get committed upon explicitly calling this function.
In special cases tests may want to disable the processing of the events. This can be achieved by
setting \a processEvents to false. This results in merely queuing the events, the event loop will
not be forced to process them.
