#QSpec [Build Status] (https://travis-ci.org/ugeneunipro/QSpec)

Introduction

QSpec is a GUI testing library for Qt desktop applications.

Writing Tests

You need to create declarations for your tests like the following:

#include <core/GUITest.h>
using namespace HI;
#define GUI_TEST_SUITE "My_base_tests"
    TEST_CLASS_DECLARATION(Test1)
    TEST_CLASS_DECLARATION(Test2)
#undef GUI_TEST_SUITE

Also you need to create definitions of the tests:

TEST_CLASS_DEFINITION(Test1){
    //body of test
}

TEST_CLASS_DEFINITION(Test2){
    //body of test
}

After this you need to implement GUITestsLauncher interface:

#include <core/GUITestsLauncher.h>
using namespace HI;
class MyGUITestsLauncher: public GUITestsLauncher
{
public:
    MyGUITestsLauncher();
};
MyGUITestsLauncher::MyGUITestsLauncher(): GUITestsLauncher()
{
    guiTestBase.registerTest(new Test1());
    guiTestBase.registerTest(new Test2());
}

In the main function of your application you need to add something like this:

    QString runGuiTest = qgetenv("HI_GUI_TEST");
    if (!runGuiTest.isEmpty()) {
        MyGUITestsLauncher* tests = new MyGUITestsLauncher();
        tests->connect(&myMainWindow,SIGNAL(si_applicationStarted()),tests,SLOT(sl_runTest()));
    }

Running Tests

A single test can be run just using 'HI_GUI_TEST' environment variable.

First set the variable.

For Unix systems:

export HI_GUI_TEST=<suite_name>:<test_name>

For Windows systems:

set HI_GUI_TEST=<suite_name>:<test_name>

Then run the application.
