I suspect combining

  -DQT_BUILD_TESTS=ON
  -DQT_BUILD_TESTS_BY_DEFAULT=OFF

would help here.  CMake would know how to build the tests, but would
only do so on request, so you could tell ninja to build $submodule/test
(or indeed $subdirectory/test; see ninja -t targets for a full list) so
as to only build the tests you care about, or build tst_component_check
to (build and) run a specific test.
