[Interest] Need advice to add tests to an existing project

[Xavier Bigand]

Thank you Christian for answer.

Yes I thought to create a static library of our project, but as we have
many IDE it will be an effort to do that. So I think that I found a better
solution as we already have a special build Developer for us, we can simply
add support of new application command line options to launch it in
automated test mode.

But if I do that will we able to launch tests directly from QtCreator as
suite tests or at least with a new running target (with correct launch
options)?
