Testing Qt with Squish

Learn how to test your Qt application

What is the most important thing about a tool for automatic testing?

Often the answer is not that it will reliably test your application, but instead that it will reliably test your application tomorrow when you have adapted the application slightly!

The ambition of this training course is that you will learn to use Squish for testing your application, over and over again – with much reduced efforts versus before.

The techniques you learn involve recording a script with Squish and then adapting this into a piece of reusable code that is much less likely to break with the next version of the application it tests.

Course contents:

Recording your first script, Verifying the Result
Getting stable scripts by programming
Optional, Python Introduction and/or Java script Introduction
Refactoring your scripts
Object Identification, Data driven testing, Qt Event Handling, File Access, GUI Coverage
Behavior-Driven Testing
Customized Object Identification, Automatic test runs, Special Purpose Squish

This course is for:

Testers or programmers to support testers

Duration & Prerequisites:

3 Days training – Limited programming experience (you know the basics of programming, but you don’t necessarily have much experience).

Types of training

We offer two types of in-person training: Scheduled, for individuals from diverse companies and In-Company for teams.

Variants for In-Company (on-site) training:

4 days training:

For non-programmers. This training course contains extra material for testers without any programming experience.

5 days training:

Similar to the 3 or 4 days training course, but at your request; potential leftover time can be invested in getting your application’s workflow up and running with Squish.

Why learn about Squish GUI Tester?

Manual testing of user interfaces in applications is often a very complex and error-prone activity. Squish is a proven GUI test automation tool for functional GUI regression tests.

This course covers Qt fundamentals, objects and widgets, Qt Creator and Designer, then takes you under the hood to learn about core classes, custom dialogs, layout management, painting, event handling, and the fundamentals of Qt’s model/view framework.

Get quickly up to speed if you’re new to QML or get a brush-up and reminder of best practices on this in-person course, which focuses mainly on Qt Quick. Learn how to compose fluid interfaces with slick animations using QML, and how to hook up the QML side to the business logic in C++. Discover how Qt is used on both desktop and mobile.

This variant gives you all the fundamentals you need to get quickly up to speed with Qt/QML as well as an introduction to developing for Embedded with Qt Creator and performance tuning.

For programmers already acquainted with Qt Widgets, this course offers a recap of Qt fundamentals then dives into application infrastructure, Model/View with Qt and much more, leading to a deeper level of understanding of Qt internals.

This Advanced QML course is designed to take programmers who already know QML to a deeper level of functional understanding. It introduces Advanced QML/C++ integration, Application Architecture and much more.
