Hi,

> I have added some tests to my project that run a (C++) executable with a set of command-line arguments. There is no particular C++ API to drive the tests (as in google tests or similar). Tests simply pass or fail based on the process status. The tests are added to the cmake project using the usual `add_test()` function.

there is some work going on to support ctest in the tests panel etc here
AutoTest: Provide basic ctest integration (I1cb85569) · Gerrit Code Review
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt-creator/qt-creator/+/318051
As far as I can tell that has chances to land in Qt Creator 4.15.

Currently your only option is to run the tests via a custom run configuration.

Br, Eike
