[Interest] How to use unit testing with Qt framework properly

[Gilles Habran]

Hi,

thank you for that !

I will check the link you gave me this week-end. I had to switch to a
project not Qt related which uses CxxTests with perl scripts to chose what
you want to run but I will need to master the QTestLib for my next Qt
project. :)

Kind regards,

Gilles
