Comment from qtestcase.cpp:
    /* We output at maximum about maxLen characters in order to avoid
     * running out of memory and flooding things when the byte array
     * is large.
     *
     * maxLen can't be for example 200 because Qt Test is sprinkled with fixed
     * size char arrays.
     * */

I don't know how relevant that comment still is. But it's normal for the data 
to be limited, we can't flood the output with huge strings.

If you want, you can contribute a feature that shows which element in an 
array-like type differs (QByteArray, QString, QLists, QVectors).
