+
+ \title Qt Test Best Practices
+
+ \brief Guidelines for creating Qt tests.
+
+ We recommend that you add Qt tests for bug fixes and new features. Before
+ you try to fix a bug, add a \e {regression test} (ideally automatic) that
+ fails before the fix, exhibiting the bug, and passes after the fix. While
+ you're developing new features, add tests to verify that they work as
+ intended.
+
+ Conforming to a set of coding standards will make it more likely for
+ Qt autotests to work reliably in all environments. For example, some
+ tests need to read data from disk. If no standards are set for how this
+ is done, some tests won't be portable. For example, a test that assumes
+ its test-data files are in the current working directory only works for
+ an in-source build. In a shadow build (outside the source directory), the
+ test will fail to find its data.
+
+ The following sections contain guidelines for writing Qt tests:
+
+ \list
+ \li \l {General Principles}
+ \li \l {Writing Reliable Tests}
+ \li \l {Improving Test Output}
+ \li \l {Writing Testable Code}
+ \li \l {Setting up Test Machines}
+ \endlist
+
+ \section1 General Principles
+
+ The following sections provide general guidelines for writing unit tests:
+
+ \list
+ \li \l {Verify Tests}
+ \li \l {Give Test Functions Descriptive Names}
+ \li \l {Write Self-contained Test Functions}
+ \li \l {Test the Full Stack}
+ \li \l {Make Tests Complete Quickly}
+ \li \l {Use Data-driven Testing}
+ \li \l {Use Coverage Tools}
+ \li \l {Select Appropriate Mechanisms to Exclude Tests}
+ \li \l {Avoid Q_ASSERT}
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Verify Tests
+
+ Write and commit your tests along with your fix or new feature on a new
+ branch. Once you're done, you can check out the branch on which your work
+ is based, and then check out into this branch the test-files for your new
+ tests. This enables you to verify that the tests do fail on the prior
+ branch, and therefore actually do catch a bug or test a new feature.
+
+ For example, the workflow to fix a bug in the \c QDateTime class could be
+ like this if you use the Git version control system:
+
+ \list 1
+ \li Create a branch for your fix and test:
+ \c {git checkout -b fix-branch 5.14}
+ \li Write a test and fix the bug.
+ \li Build and test with both the fix and the new test, to verify that
+ the new test passes with the fix.
+ \li Add the fix and test to your branch:
+ \c {git add tests/auto/corelib/time/qdatetime/tst_qdatetime.cpp src/corelib/time/qdatetime.cpp}
+ \li Commit the fix and test to your branch:
+ \c {git commit -m 'Fix bug in QDateTime'}
+ \li To verify that the test actually catches something for which you
+ needed the fix, checkout the branch you based your own branch on:
+ \c {git checkout 5.14}
+ \li Checkout only the test file to the 5.14 branch:
+ \c {git checkout fix-branch -- tests/auto/corelib/time/qdatetime/tst_qdatetime.cpp}
+
+ Only the test is now on the fix-branch. The rest of the source tree
+ is still on 5.14.
+ \li Build and run the test to verify that it fails on 5.14, and
+ therefore does indeed catch a bug.
+ \li You can now return to the fix branch:
+ \c {git checkout fix-branch}
+ \li Alternatively, you can restore your work tree to a clean state on
+ 5.14:
+ \c{git checkout HEAD -- tests/auto/corelib/time/qdatetime/tst_qdatetime.cpp}
+ \endlist
+
+ When you're reviewing a change, you can adapt this workflow to check that
+ the change does indeed come with a test for a problem it does fix.
+
+ \section2 Give Test Functions Descriptive Names
+
+ Naming test cases is important. The test name appears in the failure report
+ for a test run. For data-driven tests, the name of the data row also appears
+ in the failure report. The names give those reading the report a first
+ indication of what has gone wrong.
+
+ Test function names should make it obvious what the function is trying to
+ test. Do not simply use the bug-tracking identifier, because the identifiers
+ become obsolete if the bug-tracker is replaced. Also, some bug-trackers may
+ not be accessible to all users. When the bug report may be of interest to
+ later readers of the test code, you can mention it in a comment alongside a
+ relevant part of the test.
+
+ Likewise, when writing data-driven tests, give descriptive names to the
+ test-cases, that indicate what aspect of the functionality each focuses on.
+ Do not simply number the test-case, or use bug-tracking identifiers. Someone
+ reading the test output will have no idea what the numbers or identifiers
+ mean. You can add a comment on the test-row that mentions the bug-tracking
+ identifier, when relevant.
+
+ \section2 Write Self-contained Test Functions
+
+ Within a test program, test functions should be independent of each other
+ and they should not rely upon previous test functions having been run. You
+ can check this by running the test function on its own with
+ \c {tst_foo testname}.
+
+ Do not re-use instances of the class under test in several tests. Test
+ instances (for example widgets) should not be member variables of the
+ tests, but preferably be instantiated on the stack to ensure proper
+ cleanup even if a test fails, so that tests do not interfere with
+ each other.
+
+ \section2 Test the Full Stack
+
+ If an API is implemented in terms of pluggable or platform-specific backends
+ that do the heavy-lifting, make sure to write tests that cover the
+ code-paths all the way down into the backends. Testing the upper layer API
+ parts using a mock backend is a nice way to isolate errors in the API layer
+ from the backends, but it is complementary to tests that run the actual
+ implementation with real-world data.
+
+ \section2 Make Tests Complete Quickly
+
+ Tests should not waste time by being unnecessarily repetitious, by using
+ inappropriately large volumes of test data, or by introducing needless
+ idle time.
+
+ This is particularly true for unit testing, where every second of extra
+ unit test execution time makes CI testing of a branch across multiple
+ targets take longer. Remember that unit testing is separate from load and
+ reliability testing, where larger volumes of test data and longer test
+ runs are expected.
+
+ Benchmark tests, which typically execute the same test multiple times,
+ should be located in a separate \c tests/benchmarks directory and they
+ should not be mixed with functional unit tests.
+
+ \section2 Use Data-driven Testing
+
+ Data-driven tests make it easier to add new tests for boundary conditions
+ found in later bug reports.
+
+ Using a data-driven test rather than testing several items in sequence in
+ a test saves repetition of very similar code and ensures later cases are
+ tested even when earlier ones fail. It also encourages systematic and
+ uniform testing, because the same tests are applied to each data sample.
+
+ \section2 Use Coverage Tools
+
+ Use a coverage tool such as \l {Froglogic Coco Code Coverage} or \l {gcov}
+ to help write tests that cover as many statements, branches, and conditions
+ as possible in the function or class being tested. The earlier this is done
+ in the development cycle for a new feature, the easier it will be to catch
+ regressions later when the code is refactored.
+
+ \section2 Select Appropriate Mechanisms to Exclude Tests
+
+ It is important to select the appropriate mechanism to exclude inapplicable
+ tests: \l QSKIP(), using conditional statements to exclude parts of a test
+ function, or not building the test for a particular platform.
+
+ Use QSKIP() to handle cases where a whole test function is found at run-time
+ to be inapplicable in the current test environment. When just a part of a
+ test function is to be skipped, a conditional statement can be used,
+ optionally with a \c qDebug() call to report the reason for skipping the
+ inapplicable part.
+
+ Test functions or data rows of a data-driven test can be limited to
+ particular platforms, or to particular features being enabled using
+ \c{#if}. However, beware of \l moc limitations when using \c{#if} to
+ skip test functions. The \c moc preprocessor does not have access to
+ all the \c builtin macros of the compiler that are often used for
+ feature detection of the compiler. Therefore, \c moc might get a different
+ result for a preprocessor condition from that seen by the rest of your
+ code. This may result in \c moc generating meta-data for a test slot that
+ the actual compiler skips, or omitting the meta-data for a test slot that
+ is actually compiled into the class. In the first case, the test will
+ attempt to run a slot that is not implemented. In the second case, the
+ test will not attempt to run a test slot even though it should.
+
+ If an entire test program is inapplicable for a specific platform or
+ unless a particular feature is enabled, the best approach is to use the
+ parent directory's \c .pro file to avoid building the test. For example,
+ if the \c tests/auto/gui/someclass test is not valid for \macOS, add the
+ following line to \c tests/auto/gui.pro:
+
+ \badcode
+ mac*: SUBDIRS -= someclass
+ \endcode
+
+ \section2 Avoid Q_ASSERT
+
+ The \l Q_ASSERT macro causes a program to abort whenever the asserted
+ condition is \c false, but only if the software was built in debug mode.
+ In both release and debug-and-release builds, \c Q_ASSERT does nothing.
+
+ \c Q_ASSERT should be avoided because it makes tests behave differently
+ depending on whether a debug build is being tested, and because it causes
+ a test to abort immediately, skipping all remaining test functions and
+ returning incomplete or malformed test results.
+
+ It also skips any tear-down or tidy-up that was supposed to happen at the
+ end of the test, and might therefore leave the workspace in an untidy state,
+ which might cause complications for further tests.
+
+ Instead of \c Q_ASSERT, the \l QCOMPARE() or \l QVERIFY() macro variants
+ should be used. They cause the current test to report a failure and
+ terminate, but allow the remaining test functions to be executed and the
+ entire test program to terminate normally. \l Q_VERIFY2() even allows a
+ descriptive error message to be recorded in the test log.
+
+ \section1 Writing Reliable Tests
+
+ The following sections provide guidelines for writing reliable tests:
+
+ \list
+ \li \l {Avoid Side-effects in Verification Steps}
+ \li \l {Avoid Fixed Timeouts}
+ \li \l {Beware of Timing-dependent Behavior}
+ \li \l {Avoid Bitmap Capture and Comparison}
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Avoid Side-effects in Verification Steps
+
+ When performing verification steps in an autotest using \l QCOMPARE(),
+ \l QVERIFY(), and so on, side-effects should be avoided. Side-effects
+ in verification steps can make a test difficult to understand. Also,
+ they can easily break a test in ways that are difficult to diagnose
+ when the test is changed to use \l QTRY_VERIFY(), \l QTRY_COMPARE() or
+ \l QBENCHMARK(). These can execute the passed expression multiple times,
+ thus repeating any side-effects.
+
+ When side-effects are unavoidable, ensure that the prior state is restored
+ at the end of the test function, even if the test fails. This commonly
+ requires use of an RAII (resource acquisition is initialization) class
+ that restores state when the function returns, or a \l cleanup() method.
+ Do not simply put the restoration code at the end of the test. If part of
+ the test fails, such code will be skipped and the prior state will not be
+ restored.
+
+ \section2 Avoid Fixed Timeouts
+
+ Avoid using hard-coded timeouts, such as QTest::qWait() to wait for some
+ conditions to become true. Consider using the \l QtSignalSpy class,
+ the \l QTRY_VERIFY() or \l QTRY_COMPARE() macros, or the \c QtSignalSpy
+ class in conjunction with the \c QTRY_ macro variants.
+
+ The \c qWait() function can be used to set a delay for a fixed period
+ between performing some action and waiting for some asynchronous behavior
+ triggered by that action to be completed. For example, changing the state
+ of a widget and then waiting for the widget to be repainted. However,
+ such timeouts often cause failures when a test written on a workstation is
+ executed on a device, where the expected behavior might take longer to
+ complete. Increasing the fixed timeout to a value several times larger
+ than needed on the slowest test platform is not a good solution, because
+ it slows down the test run on all platforms, particularly for table-driven
+ tests.
+
+ If the code under test issues Qt signals on completion of the asynchronous
+ behavior, a better approach is to use the \l QSignalSpy class to notify
+ the test function that the verification step can now be performed.
+
+ If there are no Qt signals, use the \c QTRY_COMPARE() and \c QTRY_VERIFY()
+ macros, which periodically test a specified condition until it becomes true
+ or some maximum timeout is reached. These macros prevent the test from
+ taking longer than necessary, while avoiding breakages when tests are
+ written on workstations and later executed on embedded platforms.
+
+ If there are no Qt signals, and you are writing the test as part of
+ developing a new API, consider whether the API could benefit from the
+ addition of a signal that reports the completion of the asynchronous
+ behavior.
+
+ \section2 Beware of Timing-dependent Behavior
+
+ Some test strategies are vulnerable to timing-dependent behavior of certain
+ classes, which can lead to tests that fail only on certain platforms or that
+ do not return consistent results.
+
+ One example of this is text-entry widgets, which often have a blinking
+ cursor that can make comparisons of captured bitmaps succeed or fail
+ depending on the state of the cursor when the bitmap is captured. This,
+ in turn, may depend on the speed of the machine executing the test.
+
+ When testing classes that change their state based on timer events, the
+ timer-based behavior needs to be taken into account when performing
+ verification steps. Due to the variety of timing-dependent behavior, there
+ is no single generic solution to this testing problem.
+
+ For text-entry widgets, potential solutions include disabling the cursor
+ blinking behavior (if the API provides that feature), waiting for the
+ cursor to be in a known state before capturing a bitmap (for example, by
+ subscribing to an appropriate signal if the API provides one), or
+ excluding the area containing the cursor from the bitmap comparison.
+
+ \section2 Avoid Bitmap Capture and Comparison
+
+ While verifying test results by capturing and comparing bitmaps is sometimes
+ necessary, it can be quite fragile and labor-intensive.
+
+ For example, a particular widget may have different appearance on different
+ platforms or with different widget styles, so reference bitmaps may need to
+ be created multiple times and then maintained in the future as Qt's set of
+ supported platforms evolves. Making changes that affect the bitmap thus
+ means having to recreate the expected bitmaps on each supported platform,
+ which would require access to each platform.
+
+ Bitmap comparisons can also be influenced by factors such as the test
+ machine's screen resolution, bit depth, active theme, color scheme,
+ widget style, active locale (currency symbols, text direction, and so
+ on), font size, transparency effects, and choice of window manager.
+
+ Where possible, use programmatic means, such as verifying properties of
+ objects and variables, instead of capturing and comparing bitmaps.
+
+ \section1 Improving Test Output
+
+ The following sections provide guidelines for producing readable and
+ helpful test output:
+
+ \list
+ \li \l {Explicitly Ignore Expected Warnings}
+ \li \l {Avoid Printing Debug Messages from Autotests}
+ \li \l {Write Well-structured Diagnostic Code}
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Explicitly Ignore Expected Warnings
+
+ If a test is expected to cause Qt to output a warning or debug message
+ on the console, it should call \l QTest::ignoreMessage() to filter that
+ message out of the test output and to fail the test if the message is
+ not output.
+
+ If such a message is only output when Qt is built in debug mode, use
+ \l QLibraryInfo::isDebugBuild() to determine whether the Qt libraries
+ were built in debug mode. Using \c{#ifdef QT_DEBUG} is not enough, as
+ it will only tell you whether the test was built in debug mode, and
+ that does not guarantee that the Qt libraries were also built in debug
+ mode.
+
+ \section2 Avoid Printing Debug Messages from Autotests
+
+ Autotests should not produce any unhandled warning or debug messages.
+ This will allow the CI Gate to treat new warning or debug messages as
+ test failures.
+
+ Adding debug messages during development is fine, but these should be
+ either disabled or removed before a test is checked in.
+
+ \section2 Write Well-structured Diagnostic Code
+
+ Any diagnostic output that would be useful if a test fails should be part
+ of the regular test output rather than being commented-out, disabled by
+ preprocessor directives, or enabled only in debug builds. If a test fails
+ during continuous integration, having all of the relevant diagnostic output
+ in the CI logs could save you a lot of time compared to enabling the
+ diagnostic code and testing again. Epecially, if the failure was on a
+ platform that you don't have on your desktop.
+
+ Diagnostic messages in tests should use Qt's output mechanisms, such as
+ \c qDebug() and \c qWarning(), rather than \c stdio.h or \c iostream.h output
+ mechanisms. The latter bypass Qt's message handling and prevent the
+ \c -silent command-line option from suppressing the diagnostic messages.
+ This could result in important failure messages being hidden in a large
+ volume of debugging output.
+
+ \section1 Writing Testable Code
+
+ The following sections provide guidelines for writing code that is easy to
+ test:
+
+ \list
+ \li \l {Break Dependencies}
+ \li \l {Compile All Classes into Libraries}
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Break Dependencies
+
+ The idea of unit testing is to use every class in isolation. Since many
+ classes instantiate other classes, it is not possible to instantiate one
+ class separately. Therefore, you should use a technique called
+ \e {dependency injection} that separates object creation from object use.
+ A factory is responsible for building object trees. Other objects manipulate
+ these objects through abstract interfaces.
+
+ This technique works well for data-driven applications. For GUI
+ applications, this approach can be difficult as objects are frequently
+ created and destructed. To verify the correct behavior of classes that
+ depend on abstract interfaces, \e mocking can be used. For example, see
+ \l {Googletest Mocking (gMock) Framework}.
+
+ \section2 Compile All Classes into Libraries
+
+ In small to medium sized projects, a build script typically lists all
+ source files and then compiles the executable in one go. This means that
+ the build scripts for the tests must list the needed source files again.
+
+ It is easier to list the source files and the headers only once in a
+ script to build a static library. Then the \c main() function will be
+ linked against the static library to build the executable and the tests
+ will be linked against the static libraries.
+
+ For projects where the same source files are used in building several
+ programs, it may be more appropriate to build the shared classes into
+ a dynamically-linked (or shared object) library that each program,
+ including the test programs, can load at run-time. Again, having the
+ compiled code in a library helps to avoid duplication in the description
+ of which components to combine to make the various programs.
+
+ \section1 Setting up Test Machines
+
+ The following sections discuss common problems caused by test machine setup:
+
+ \list
+ \li \l {Screen Savers}
+ \li \l {System Dialogs}
+ \li \l {Display Usage}
+ \li \l {Window Managers}
+ \endlist
+
+ All of these problems can typically be solved by the judicious use of
+ virtualisation.
+
+ \section2 Screen Savers
+
+ Screen savers can interfere with some of the tests for GUI classes, causing
+ unreliable test results. Screen savers should be disabled to ensure that
+ test results are consistent and reliable.
+
+ \section2 System Dialogs
+
+ Dialogs displayed unexpectedly by the operating system or other running
+ applications can steal input focus from widgets involved in an autotest,
+ causing unreproducible failures.
+
+ Examples of typical problems include online update notification dialogs
+ on macOS, false alarms from virus scanners, scheduled tasks such as virus
+ signature updates, software updates pushed out to workstations, and chat
+ programs popping up windows on top of the stack.
+
+ \section2 Display Usage
+
+ Some tests use the test machine's display, mouse, and keyboard, and can
+ thus fail if the machine is being used for something else at the same
+ time or if multiple tests are run in parallel.
+
+ The CI system uses dedicated test machines to avoid this problem, but if
+ you don't have a dedicated test machine, you may be able to solve this
+ problem by running the tests on a second display.
+
+ On Unix, one can also run the tests on a nested or virtual X-server, such as
+ Xephyr. For example, to run the entire set of tests on Xephyr, execute the
+ following commands:
+
+ \code
+ Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 1920x1200 >/dev/null 2>&1 &
+ sleep 5
+ DISPLAY=:1 icewm >/dev/null 2>&1 &
+ cd tests/auto
+ make
+ DISPLAY=:1 make -k -j1 check
+ \endcode
+
+ Users of NVIDIA binary drivers should note that Xephyr might not be able to
+ provide GLX extensions. Forcing Mesa libGL might help:
+
+ \code
+ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
+ \endcode
+
+ However, when tests are run on Xephyr and the real X-server with different
+ libGL versions, the QML disk cache can make the tests crash. To avoid this,
+ use \c QML_DISABLE_DISK_CACHE=1.
+
+ Alternatively, use the offscreen plugin:
+
+ \code
+ TESTARGS="-platform offscreen" make check -k -j1
+ \endcode
+
+ \section2 Window Managers
+
+ On Unix, at least two autotests (\c tst_examples and \c tst_gestures)
+ require a window manager to be running. Therefore, if running these
+ tests under a nested X-server, you must also run a window manager
+ in that X-server.
+
+ Your window manager must be configured to position all windows on the
+ display automatically. Some windows managers, such as Tab Window Manager
+ (twm), have a mode for manually positioning new windows, and this prevents
+ the test suite from running without user interaction.
+
+ \note Tab Window Manager is not suitable for running the full suite of
+ Qt autotests, as the \c tst_gestures autotest causes it to forget its
+ configuration and revert to manual window placement.
