If you don't mind writing (simple) GUI tests programatically:

  http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qtestlib-tutorial3.html

The QTestLib framework lets you create "Qt events" (such as from keyboard, mouse etc.) and "inject" them into the Qt event queue. Not as comfortable as a GUI test editor, but should work for "simple" dialogs/test scenarios.

Cheers, Oliver
