Qt "monkey" Testing - simulate random clicks and keypresses

Question

Is there a framework to simulate a deterministically pseudorandom series of clicks imposed upon a Qt application - in order to try to trigger any memory leaks, threading errors etc - typical monkey-testing?

Some exotic, monkey use for QTestLib?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use the useful unit test module. Look in particular at the class QTestEventList. Just provide the QWidget you want to test, or the QMainWindow or whatever subclass you want and add the list of events you want to generate. If you want to generate a sequence of points so that you can reproduce in case of failure, use qsrand() and qrand().
