## Function Documentation

### void QTest::addColumn(const char *name, T *dummy = 0)

Adds a column with type `T` to the current test data. name is the name of the column. dummy is a workaround for buggy compilers and can be ignored.

To populate the column with values, newRow() can be used. Use QFETCH() to fetch the data in the actual test.

Example:

      void myTestFunction_data() {
          QTest::addColumn<int>("intval");
          QTest::addColumn<QString>("str");
          QTest::addColumn<double>("dbl");

          QTest::newRow("row1") << 1 << "hello" << 1.5;
      }

To add custom types to the testdata, the type must be registered with QMetaType via Q_DECLARE_METATYPE().

Note: This macro can only be used in a test's data function that is invoked by the test framework.

See Data Driven Testing for a more extensive example.

See also QTest::newRow(), QFETCH(), and QMetaType.

### const char *QTest::benchmarkMetricName(QBenchmarkMetric metric)

Returns the enum value metric as a character string.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.7.

### const char *QTest::benchmarkMetricUnit(QBenchmarkMetric metric)

Retuns the units of measure for the specified metric.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.7.

### const char *QTest::currentAppName()

Returns the name of the binary that is currently executed.

### const char *QTest::currentDataTag()

Returns the name of the current test data. If the test doesn't have any assigned testdata, the function returns 0.

### bool QTest::currentTestFailed()

Returns `true` if the current test function failed, otherwise false.

### const char *QTest::currentTestFunction()

Returns the name of the test function that is currently executed.

Example:

      void MyTestClass::cleanup()
      {
          if (qstrcmp(currentTestFunction(), "myDatabaseTest") == 0) {
              // clean up all database connections
              closeAllDatabases();
          }
      }

### void QTest::ignoreMessage(QtMsgType type, const char *message)

Ignores messages created by qDebug(), qInfo() or qWarning(). If the message with the corresponding type is outputted, it will be removed from the test log. If the test finished and the message was not outputted, a test failure is appended to the test log.

Note: Invoking this function will only ignore one message. If the message you want to ignore is outputted twice, you have to call ignoreMessage() twice, too.

Example:

      QDir dir;

      QTest::ignoreMessage(QtWarningMsg, "QDir::mkdir: Empty or null file name(s)");
      dir.mkdir("");

The example above tests that QDir::mkdir() outputs the right warning when invoked with an invalid file name.

### void QTest::ignoreMessage(QtMsgType type, const QRegularExpression &messagePattern)

This is an overloaded function.

Ignores messages created by qDebug(), qInfo() or qWarning(). If the message matching messagePattern with the corresponding type is outputted, it will be removed from the test log. If the test finished and the message was not outputted, a test failure is appended to the test log.

Note: Invoking this function will only ignore one message. If the message you want to ignore is outputted twice, you have to call ignoreMessage() twice, too.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.3.

### `[static]` void QTest::keyClick(QWidget *widget, Qt::Key key, Qt::KeyboardModifiers modifier = Qt::NoModifier, int delay = -1)

See also addColumn() and QFETCH().

### int QTest::qExec(QObject *testObject, int argc = 0, char **argv = Q_NULLPTR)

Executes tests declared in testObject. In addition, the private slots `initTestCase()`, `cleanupTestCase()`, `init()` and `cleanup()` are executed if they exist. See Creating a Test for more details.

Optionally, the command line arguments argc and argv can be provided. For a list of recognized arguments, read Qt Test Command Line Arguments.

The following example will run all tests in `MyTestObject`:

      MyTestObject test1;
      QTest::qExec(&test1);

This function returns 0 if no tests failed, or a value other than 0 if one or more tests failed or in case of unhandled exceptions. (Skipped tests do not influence the return value.)

For stand-alone test applications, the convenience macro QTEST_MAIN() can be used to declare a main() function that parses the command line arguments and executes the tests, avoiding the need to call this function explicitly.

The return value from this function is also the exit code of the test application when the QTEST_MAIN() macro is used.

For stand-alone test applications, this function should not be called more than once, as command-line options for logging test output to files and executing individual test functions will not behave correctly.

Note: This function is not reentrant, only one test can run at a time. A test that was executed with qExec() can't run another test via qExec() and threads are not allowed to call qExec() simultaneously.

If you have programatically created the arguments, as opposed to getting them from the arguments in `main()`, it is likely of interest to use QTest::qExec(QObject *, const QStringList &) since it is Unicode safe.

See also QTEST_MAIN().

### int QTest::qExec(QObject *testObject, const QStringList &arguments)

This is an overloaded function.

Behaves identically to qExec(QObject *, int, char**) but takes a QStringList of arguments instead of a `char**` list.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

### QSharedPointer<QTemporaryDir> QTest::qExtractTestData(const QString &dirName)

Extracts a directory from resources to disk. The content is extracted recursively to a temporary folder. The extracted content is removed automatically once the last reference to the return value goes out of scope.

dirName is the name of the directory to extract from resources.

Returns the temporary directory where the data was extracted or null in case of errors.

### void QTest::qSleep(int ms)

Sleeps for ms milliseconds, blocking execution of the test. qSleep() will not do any event processing and leave your test unresponsive. Network communication might time out while sleeping. Use qWait() to do non-blocking sleeping.

ms must be greater than 0.

Note: The qSleep() function calls either `nanosleep()` on unix or `Sleep()` on windows, so the accuracy of time spent in qSleep() depends on the operating system.

Example:

      QTest::qSleep(250);

See also qWait().

### `[static]` void QTest::qWait(int ms)

Waits for ms milliseconds. While waiting, events will be processed and your test will stay responsive to user interface events or network communication.

Example:

      int i = 0;
      while (myNetworkServerNotResponding() && i++ < 50)
          QTest::qWait(250);

The code above will wait until the network server is responding for a maximum of about 12.5 seconds.

See also QTest::qSleep() and QSignalSpy::wait().

### `[static]` bool QTest::qWaitForWindowActive(QWindow *window, int timeout = 5000)

Waits for timeout milliseconds or until the window is active.

Returns `true` if `window` is active within timeout milliseconds, otherwise returns `false`.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

See also QTest::qWaitForWindowExposed() and QWindow::isActive().

### `[static]` bool QTest::qWaitForWindowActive(QWidget *widget, int timeout = 1000)

Waits for timeout milliseconds or until the widget's window is active.

Returns `true` if `widget`'s window is active within timeout milliseconds, otherwise returns `false`.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

See also QTest::qWaitForWindowExposed() and QWidget::isActiveWindow().

### `[static]` bool QTest::qWaitForWindowExposed(QWindow *window, int timeout = 5000)

Waits for timeout milliseconds or until the window is exposed. Returns `true` if `window` is exposed within timeout milliseconds, otherwise returns `false`.

This is mainly useful for asynchronous systems like X11, where a window will be mapped to screen some time after being asked to show itself on the screen.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

See also QTest::qWaitForWindowActive() and QWindow::isExposed().

### `[static]` bool QTest::qWaitForWindowExposed(QWidget *widget, int timeout = 1000)

Waits for timeout milliseconds or until the widget's window is exposed. Returns `true` if `widget`'s window is exposed within timeout milliseconds, otherwise returns `false`.

This is mainly useful for asynchronous systems like X11, where a window will be mapped to screen some time after being asked to show itself on the screen.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

See also QTest::qWaitForWindowActive().

### void QTest::setBenchmarkResult(qreal result, QBenchmarkMetric metric)

Sets the benchmark result for this test function to result.

Use this function if you want to report benchmark results without using the QBENCHMARK macro. Use metric to specify how Qt Test should interpret the results.

The context for the result will be the test function name and any data tag from the _data function. This function can only be called once in each test function, subsequent calls will replace the earlier reported results.

Note that the -iterations command line argument has no effect on test functions without the QBENCHMARK macro.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.7.

### char *QTest::toHexRepresentation(const char *ba, int length)

Returns a pointer to a string that is the string ba represented as a space-separated sequence of hex characters. If the input is considered too long, it is truncated. A trucation is indicated in the returned string as an ellipsis at the end.

length is the length of the string ba.

### char *QTest::toString(const QHostAddress &addr)

### char *QTest::toString(const QLatin1String &string)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of the given string.

### char *QTest::toString(const QByteArray &ba)

This is an overloaded function.

See also QTest::toHexRepresentation().

### char *QTest::toString(const QTime &time)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of the given time.

### char *QTest::toString(const QDate &date)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of the given date.

### char *QTest::toString(const QDateTime &dateTime)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of the date and time specified by dateTime.

### char *QTest::toString(const QChar &character)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of the given character.

### char *QTest::toString(const QPoint &point)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of the given point.

### char *QTest::toString(const QSize &size)

### char *QTest::toString(const QRectF &rectangle)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of the given rectangle.

### char *QTest::toString(const QUrl &url)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of the given url.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

### char *QTest::toString(const QVariant &variant)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of the given variant.

### char *QTest::toString(const QString &string)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of the given string.

### char *QTest::toString(QSizePolicy::Policy p)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of policy p.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.5.

### char *QTest::toString(QSizePolicy::ControlTypes cts)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of control types cts.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.5.

### char *QTest::toString(QSizePolicy::ControlType ct)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of control type ct.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.5.

### char *QTest::toString(QSizePolicy sp)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a textual representation of size policy sp.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.5.

### char *QTest::toString(const T &value)

Returns a textual representation of value. This function is used by 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 `delete[]`. Your implementation should return a string created with `new[]` or qstrdup(). The easiest way to do so is to create a QByteArray or QString and calling QTest::toString() on it (see second example below).

Example for specializing (Qt ≤ 5.4):

      namespace QTest {
          template<>
          char *toString(const MyPoint &point)
          {
              QByteArray ba = "MyPoint(";
              ba += QByteArray::number(point.x()) + ", " + QByteArray::number(point.y());
              ba += ')';
              return qstrdup(ba.data());
          }
      }

The example above defines a toString() specialization for a class called `MyPoint`. Whenever a comparison of two instances of `MyPoint` fails, QCOMPARE() will call this function to output the contents of `MyPoint` to the test log.

Same example, but with overloading (Qt ≥ 5.5):

      namespace MyNamespace {
          char *toString(const MyPoint &point)
          {
              // bring QTest::toString overloads into scope:
              using QTest::toString;
              // delegate char* handling to QTest::toString(QByteArray):
              return toString("MyPoint(" +
                              QByteArray::number(point.x()) + ", " +
                              QByteArray::number(point.y()) + ')');
          }
      }

See also QCOMPARE().

### QTouchEventSequence QTest::touchEvent(QWidget *widget, QTouchDevice *device, bool autoCommit = true)

Creates and returns a QTouchEventSequence for the device to simulate events for widget.

When adding touch events to the sequence, widget will also be used to translate the position provided to screen coordinates, unless another widget is provided in the respective calls to press(), move() etc.

The touch events are committed to the event system when the destructor of the QTouchEventSequence is called (ie when the object returned runs out of scope), unless autoCommit is set to false. When autoCommit is false, commit() has to be called manually.

### QTouchEventSequence QTest::touchEvent(QWindow *window, QTouchDevice *device, bool autoCommit = true)

Creates and returns a QTouchEventSequence for the device to simulate events for window.

When adding touch events to the sequence, window will also be used to translate the position provided to screen coordinates, unless another window is provided in the respective calls to press(), move() etc.

The touch events are committed to the event system when the destructor of the QTouchEventSequence is called (ie when the object returned runs out of scope), unless autoCommit is set to false. When autoCommit is false, commit() has to be called manually.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

## Macro Documentation

### QBENCHMARK

This macro is used to measure the performance of code within a test. The code to be benchmarked is contained within a code block following this macro.

For example:

      void TestBenchmark::simple()
      {
          QString str1 = QLatin1String("This is a test string");
          QString str2 = QLatin1String("This is a test string");

          QCOMPARE(str1.localeAwareCompare(str2), 0);

          QBENCHMARK {
              str1.localeAwareCompare(str2);
          }
      }

See also Creating a Benchmark and Writing a Benchmark.

### QBENCHMARK_ONCE

The QBENCHMARK_ONCE macro is for measuring performance of a code block by running it once.

This macro is used to measure the performance of code within a test. The code to be benchmarked is contained within a code block following this macro.

Unlike QBENCHMARK, the contents of the contained code block is only run once. The elapsed time will be reported as "0" if it's to short to be measured by the selected backend. (Use)

This function was introduced in Qt 4.6.

See also Creating a Benchmark and Writing a Benchmark.

### QCOMPARE(actual, expected)

The QCOMPARE macro compares an actual value to an expected value using the equals operator. If actual and expected are identical, execution continues. If not, a failure is recorded in the test log and the test won't be executed further.

In the case of comparing floats and doubles, qFuzzyCompare() is used for comparing. This means that comparing to 0 will likely fail. One solution to this is to compare to 1, and add 1 to the produced output.

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.

QCOMPARE is very strict on the data types. Both actual and expected have to be of the same type, otherwise the test won't compile. This prohibits unspecified behavior from being introduced; that is behavior that usually occurs when the compiler implicitly casts the argument.

For your own classes, you can use QTest::toString() to format values for outputting into the test log.

Note: This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked by the test framework.

Example:

      QCOMPARE(QString("hello").toUpper(), QString("HELLO"));

See also QVERIFY(), QTRY_COMPARE(), and QTest::toString().

### QEXPECT_FAIL(dataIndex, comment, mode)

The QEXPECT_FAIL() macro marks the next QCOMPARE() or QVERIFY() as an expected failure. Instead of adding a failure to the test log, an expected failure will be reported.

If a QVERIFY() or QCOMPARE() is marked as an expected failure, but passes instead, an unexpected pass (XPASS) is written to the test log.

The parameter dataIndex describes for which entry in the test data the failure is expected. Pass an empty string (`""`) if the failure is expected for all entries or if no test data exists.

comment will be appended to the test log for the expected failure.

mode is a 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:

      QEXPECT_FAIL("", "Will fix in the next release", Continue);
      QCOMPARE(i, 42);
      QCOMPARE(j, 43);

In the example above, an expected fail will be written into the test output if the variable `i` is not 42. If the variable `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:

      QEXPECT_FAIL("data27", "Oh my, this is soooo broken", Abort);
      QCOMPARE(i, 42);

The above testfunction will not continue executing for the test data entry `data27`.

See also QTest::TestFailMode, QVERIFY(), and QCOMPARE().

### QFAIL(message)

This macro can be used to force a test failure. The test stops executing and the failure 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:

      if (sizeof(int) != 4)
          QFAIL("This test has not been ported to this platform yet.");

### QFETCH(type, name)

The fetch macro creates a local variable named name with the type type on the stack. name has to match the element name from the test's data. If no such element exists, the test will assert.

Assuming a test has the following data:

      void TestQString::toInt_data()
      {
          QTest::addColumn<QString>("aString");
          QTest::addColumn<int>("expected");

          QTest::newRow("positive value") << "42" << 42;
          QTest::newRow("negative value") << "-42" << -42;
          QTest::newRow("zero") << "0" << 0;
      }

The test data has two elements, a QString called `aString` and an integer called `expected`. To fetch these values in the actual test:

      void TestQString::toInt()
      {
           QFETCH(QString, aString);
           QFETCH(int, expected);

           QCOMPARE(aString.toInt(), expected);
      }

`aString` and `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.

### QFINDTESTDATA(filename)

Returns a QString for the testdata file referred to by 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:

- filename relative to QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() (only if a QCoreApplication or QApplication object has been created).
- filename relative to the test's standard install directory (QLibraryInfo::TestsPath with the lowercased testcase name appended).
- filename relative to the directory containing the source file from which QFINDTESTDATA is invoked.

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:

      // Source: /home/user/sources/myxmlparser/tests/tst_myxmlparser/tst_myxmlparser.cpp
      // Build:  /home/user/build/myxmlparser/tests/tst_myxmlparser
      // Qt:     /usr/local/Qt-5.0.0
      void tst_MyXmlParser::parse()
      {
          MyXmlParser parser;
          QString input = QFINDTESTDATA("testxml/simple1.xml");
          QVERIFY(parser.parse(input));
      }

The testdata file will be resolved as the first existing file from:

- `/home/user/build/myxmlparser/tests/tst_myxmlparser/testxml/simple1.xml`
- `/usr/local/Qt-5.0.0/tests/tst_myxmlparser/testxml/simple1.xml`
- `/home/user/sources/myxmlparser/tests/tst_myxmlparser/testxml/simple1.xml`

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 `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 QTEST_APPLESS_MAIN() macro to generate a `main()` function, `QFINDTESTDATA` will not attempt to find test data relative to QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath(). In practice, this means that tests using `QTEST_APPLESS_MAIN()` will fail to find their test data if run from a shadow build tree.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

### QSKIP(description)

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. The text 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() 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 a _data function, the QSKIP() macro will stop execution of the _data function and will prevent execution of the associated test function.

If called from initTestCase() or initTestCase_data(), the QSKIP() macro will skip all test and _data functions.

Note: This macro can only be used in a test function or _data function that is invoked by the test framework.

Example:

      if (!QSqlDatabase::drivers().contains("SQLITE"))
          QSKIP("This test requires the SQLITE database driver");

### QTEST(actual, testElement)

QTEST() is a convenience macro for QCOMPARE() that compares the value actual with the element testElement from the test's data. If there is no such element, the test asserts.

Apart from that, QTEST() behaves exactly as QCOMPARE().

Instead of writing:

      QFETCH(QString, myString);
      QCOMPARE(QString("hello").toUpper(), myString);

you can write:

      QTEST(QString("hello").toUpper(), "myString");

See also QCOMPARE().

### QTEST_APPLESS_MAIN(TestClass)

Implements a main() function that executes all tests in TestClass.

Behaves like QTEST_MAIN(), but doesn't instantiate a QApplication object. Use this macro for really simple stand-alone non-GUI tests.

See also QTEST_MAIN().

### QTEST_GUILESS_MAIN(TestClass)

Implements a main() function that instantiates a QCoreApplication object and the TestClass, and executes all tests in the order they were defined. Use this macro to build stand-alone executables.

Behaves like QTEST_MAIN(), but instantiates a QCoreApplication instead of the QApplication object. Use this macro if your test case doesn't need functionality offered by QApplication, but the event loop is still necessary.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

See also QTEST_MAIN().

### QTEST_MAIN(TestClass)

Implements a main() function that instantiates an application object and the TestClass, and executes all tests in the order they were defined. Use this macro to build stand-alone executables.

If `QT_WIDGETS_LIB` is defined, the application object will be a QApplication, if `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 `QT += widgets`, then `QT_WIDGETS_LIB` will be defined automatically. Similarly, if qmake is used and the configuration includes `QT += gui`, then `QT_GUI_LIB` will be defined automatically.

Note: On platforms that have keypad navigation enabled by default, this macro will forcefully disable it if `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 `initTestCase()` or `init()` functions of your test case by calling QApplication::setNavigationMode().

Example:

      class TestQString: public QObject { ... };
      QTEST_MAIN(TestQString)

See also QTEST_APPLESS_MAIN(), QTEST_GUILESS_MAIN(), QTest::qExec(), and QApplication::setNavigationMode().

### QTRY_COMPARE(actual, expected)

Performs a comparison of the actual and expected values by invoking QTRY_COMPARE_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.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

See also QTRY_COMPARE_WITH_TIMEOUT(), QCOMPARE(), QVERIFY(), and QTRY_VERIFY().

### QTRY_COMPARE_WITH_TIMEOUT(actual, expected, timeout)

The QTRY_COMPARE_WITH_TIMEOUT() macro is similar to QCOMPARE(), but performs the comparison of the actual and expected values repeatedly, until either the two values are equal or the timeout is reached. Between each comparison, 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.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

See also QTRY_COMPARE(), QCOMPARE(), QVERIFY(), and QTRY_VERIFY().

### QTRY_VERIFY2(condition, message)

Checks the condition by invoking QTRY_VERIFY2_WITH_TIMEOUT() with a timeout of five seconds. If condition is then still false, message is output. The message is a plain C string.

Example:

      QTRY_VERIFY2_WITH_TIMEOUT(list.size() > 2, QByteArray::number(list.size()).constData());

Note: This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked by the test framework.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.

See also QTRY_VERIFY2_WITH_TIMEOUT(), QTRY_VERIFY2(), QVERIFY(), QCOMPARE(), and QTRY_COMPARE().

### QTRY_VERIFY(condition)

Checks the 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.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

See also QTRY_VERIFY_WITH_TIMEOUT(), QTRY_VERIFY2(), QVERIFY(), QCOMPARE(), and QTRY_COMPARE().

### QTRY_VERIFY2_WITH_TIMEOUT(condition, message, timeout)

The QTRY_VERIFY2_WITH_TIMEOUT macro is similar to QTRY_VERIFY_WITH_TIMEOUT() except that it outputs a verbose message when condition is still false after the specified timeout. The message is a plain C string.

Example:

      QTRY_VERIFY2_WITH_TIMEOUT(list.size() > 2, QByteArray::number(list.size()).constData(), 10000);

Note: This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked by the test framework.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.

See also QTRY_VERIFY(), QTRY_VERIFY_WITH_TIMEOUT(), QVERIFY(), QCOMPARE(), and QTRY_COMPARE().

### QTRY_VERIFY_WITH_TIMEOUT(condition, timeout)

The QTRY_VERIFY_WITH_TIMEOUT() macro is similar to QVERIFY(), but checks the condition repeatedly, until either the condition becomes true or the timeout 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.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

See also QTRY_VERIFY(), QTRY_VERIFY2_WITH_TIMEOUT(), QVERIFY(), QCOMPARE(), and QTRY_COMPARE().

### QVERIFY2(condition, message)

The QVERIFY2() macro behaves exactly like QVERIFY(), except that it outputs a verbose message when condition is false. The message is a plain C string.

Example:

      QVERIFY2(1 + 1 == 2, "A breach in basic arithmetic occurred.");

See also QVERIFY() and QCOMPARE().

### QVERIFY(condition)

The QVERIFY() macro checks whether the 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.

Note: This macro can only be used in a test function that is invoked by the test framework.

Example:

      QVERIFY(1 + 1 == 2);

See also QCOMPARE() and QTRY_VERIFY().

### QVERIFY_EXCEPTION_THROWN(expression, exceptiontype)

The QVERIFY_EXCEPTION_THROWN macro executes an expression and tries to catch an exception thrown from the expression. If the expression throws an exception and its type is the same as exceptiontype or exceptiontype is substitutable with the type of thrown exception (i.e. usually the type of thrown exception is publically derived from exceptiontype) then execution will be continued. If not-substitutable type of exception is thrown or the 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.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.3.

### QWARN(message)

Appends message as a warning to the test log. This macro can be used anywhere in your tests.

Note: This function is thread-safe
