The library is called QtTest (.dll, lib[...].so, etc.), the only include is 
QtTest/QtTest. There is no other name for a library.

The "lib" suffix is a simple adjective meaning it's a library, like "the core 
lib" or "the gui lib".

That doesn't mean people have different and conflicting names, like the 
"QBenchLib", which is not even a library per se, but a part of the QtTest 
library.

And there are two exceptions too: "corelib" and "testlib" are the directory 
names for QtCore and QtTest because the names "core" and "test" are 
commonplace on Unix systems for other things.

PS: also note that there's no QtBase; there's only qtbase.git, all lowercase.
