            <description><![CDATA[froglogic today announced that it has successfully completed a porting effort of its GUI testing tool Squish for Qt [froglogic.com] to allow automating Qt GUIs based on Qt 5 Alpha.

	&#8220;We just successfully completed a development branch of Squish for Qt which adds the ability to test Qt 5 applications. It is of high importance for us to ensure that Squish continues to work well with any new Qt versions and provides support for newly added features. That&#8217;s why we are following the development of Qt very closely and actively contribute to the the discussions during the development phase.&#8221; &#8211; Harri Porten, froglogic&#8217;s CTO.

	Stefan Gehn, the software engineer spearheading the porting effort, adds: &#8220;We made intensive use of our automated Squish for Qt test suite for to ensure the quality of the Qt 5 version. In particular we paid attention to the QtWidgets support being compatible with the Qt 4 version. This will allow for a painless migration for our customers once they switch to Qt 5. Next step on our agenda is a module for new&#45;style QtQuick 2.0 applications.&#8221;

	About Squish

	Squish is the leading functional, cross&#45;platform GUI and regression testing tool that can test applications based on a variety of GUI technologies, including Nokia&#8217;s Qt Software Development Frameworks, Java SWT/Eclipse RCP, Java AWT/Swing, Windows MFC and .NET, Mac OS X Carbon/Cocoa, iOS CocoaTouch and Web/HTML/AJAX. Squish stands out from other GUI testing tools by giving test engineers the freedom to record and write tests using familiar scripting languages such as JavaScript, Perl, Python, Tcl, and Ruby. Furthermore, Squish provides extremely tight integration with the specific GUI technologies it supports. This gives testers unprecedented access to the internals of the applications they are testing (to data items, controls, widgets, etc.), and also leads to the production of very robust and stable GUI tests.

	Squish and all the tests created with it, are completely cross&#45;platform, and work on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, and embedded Linux.

	Squish is being successfully used in QA departments across the world in hundreds of companies both large and small, including, for example, ARM, American Power Conversion, EADS, Ericsson, France Telecom Group, General Electric, Reuters Financial Software, Siemens, Synopsys and Xilinx.
Qt is a cross&#45;platform application and UI framework for complex GUI applications and a variety of desktop, embedded and mobile platforms.

            <description><![CDATA[Yuc is a unit converter filled with most common unit conversion categories.
It&#8217;s diferent from other unit converters, because if the unit you want is not available, you can easly added it, without any programming skills needed. Also convertions are displayed in a list, so you can see the convertions between all units of the same category, not just two units at the same time, like most unit converters usually do.

	Yuc is available for symbian mobiles in Ovi, and Desktop PC&#8217;s Windows and Linux(the Mac version should be available soon, meanwhile you can compile it yourself). It was developed for mobile, but uses he same code for Desktop.

	Doesn&#8217;t teach much about Qt, but it is a common concern for drawing apps.

	Uses fairly sophisticated algorithms from potrace.  Shows use of Python generators in a filter pipe.

            <description><![CDATA[Hi, I spent some time improving the subversion plugin in Qt Creator. The result can be downloaded( or some screenshots) from http://bavooo.be/qtcreator/ [bavooo.be]

	Summary: 
	
		Set a default SVN Repository in settings.
		Possibility to add(import) a new project immediately to a svn repository.
		Possibility to add(import) an existing project to a svn repository.
		Default SVN Repository is pre&#45;filled in when creating a new project from a subversion checkout.
		Possibility to look for branches when creating a new project from a subversion checkout. The branches are actually just sub directories on the svn repository given that svn doesn&#8217;t have a strict branching concept.
	

	Some feedback/remarks?

	Also I&#8217;ve noticed the &#8220;Qt Creator Plug in Contribution Guide&#8221; is removed from the wiki so I&#8217;ve no idea how to make the plugin noticeable, if it seems useful.]]></description>

            <author>reggie</author>
            <description><![CDATA[froglogic GmbH today announced its release of Squish Coco, a complete C and C++ code coverage tool chain for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Unix.

	froglogic, famous for its market leading, cross&#45;platform GUI test automation tool Squish, has now extended its tools offering to include Squish Coco, a cross&#45;platform code coverage solution.

	Squish Coco is based on the mature and widely used tools developed for the TestCocoon project. froglogic has also hired TestCocoon&#8217;s initiator and lead programmer to ensure continuity and quality for Squish Coco&#8217;s ongoing development. And, of course, Squish Coco is backed by a strong and reliable vendor renowned for its excellent support.

	&#8220;Code coverage is one of the most requested features that Squish GUI Tester users ask for. This isn&#8217;t surprising since code coverage analysis makes it possible to highly optimize testing and to measure the quality of the test campaign. So we are really excited to be able to offer Squish Coco as a new addition to our Squish test automation tools.&#8221; &#8211; Harri Porten, froglogic&#8217;s CTO and co&#45;CEO.

	&#8220;In order to ensure the quality of our own products, we have implemented a high degree of build and test automation into our development processes. Over the years we looked at a wide range of code coverage tools searching for one that would help provide continued analysis and optimization of our testing. The only tool that met all our requirements was TestCocoon—now available as the fully supported Squish Coco. Given our long search and stringent requirements I am confident that this mature and powerful tool will be welcomed by our customers&#8221; &#8211; Rainer Schmid, froglogic&#8217;s automation lead.

	If you are interested in evaluating Squish Coco, please visit the product evaluation form at http://www.froglogic.com/evaluate and select Squish Coco as the product. For use in non&#45;commercial projects, such as Open Source and educational University projects, a free Squish Coco Non&#45;Commercial Edition is available at http://www.froglogic.com/squish/coco/non&#45;commercial.php

	For additional questions, please contact sales@froglogic.com.

	About Squish Coco

	Squish Coco is a complete code coverage tool chain for C and C++ applications that can run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Unix. Squish Coco provides a wrapper for standard compilers (including GCC and Visual Studio) that instruments the source code that the compiler sees (without touching the original code). If the instrumented application&#8217;s test suite is run the application will report all kinds of useful information, including:

	
		Dead (never executed) code.
		Optimal test execution order so as to maximize the overall test coverage for each run.
		Redundant tests.
		Untested code.
	

	In addition, Squish Coco can compare two different versions of an application (e.g., current and candidate releases) to see what effects their differences have on their tests and test coverage.

	Squish Coco can be used at every stage of testing and in conjunction with every kind of testing method (unit tests, automated tests, manual tests, etc.), and can collect and merge different tests&#8217; execution reports to support advanced analysis.
Squish Coco consists of two tools and an optional add&#45;on:

	
		CoverageScanner: this tool analyzes and instruments C and C++ applications.
		CoverageBrowser: this tool provides an easy to use GUI which can manage and display the coverage analysis results.
		An optional Microsoft Visual Studio add&#45;on, which can generate code coverage configurations for C and C++ projects directly from inside the Visual Studio IDE.
	

	Squish Coco supports the following kinds of coverage:

	
		Condition coverage
		Condition/decision coverage
		Decision coverage
		Function coverage
		Statement coverage
	

	More information about Squish Coco can be found on its product page at http://www.froglogic.com/squish/coco.

            <title>CuteTest &#45; Unit testing for Qt</title>
            <link>http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/14660</link>
            <author>manski</author>
            <description><![CDATA[With CuteTest you can create unit tests and view their results. It&#8217;s open&#45;source and based on QTestLib but extends it with the following features:

	
		You can have multiple test suites (test classes) in a single project.
		Test suites are registered automatically. No need to manually build the list of test suites.
		CuteTest provides a public API to retrieve the results of a test run.
	

	An example of a small test suite:

	// TestQString.h
#include&amp;lt;CuteTest.h&amp;gt;
&amp;nbsp;
class TESTSUITE&#40;TestQString&#41; TestQString : public QObject &#123;
&amp;nbsp; Q_OBJECT
private slots:
&amp;nbsp; void toUpperTest&#40;&#41; &#123;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; QString str = &amp;quot;Hello&amp;quot;;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; QVERIFY&#40;str.toUpper&#40;&#41; == &amp;quot;HELLO&amp;quot;&#41;;
&amp;nbsp; &#125;
&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp; void toLowerTest&#40;&#41; &#123;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; QString str = &amp;quot;Hello&amp;quot;;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; QVERIFY&#40;str.toLower&#40;&#41; == &amp;quot;hello&amp;quot;&#41;;
&amp;nbsp; &#125;
&#125;;


	This is just a regular QObject&#45;based class. All private slots are test cases (like in QTestLib). The only special thing is the &#8220;TESTSUITE&#8221; annotation just before the class name. That&#8217;s it. (You only need to link against CuteTest and QtCore for this to run. See the examples provided by the project.)

	Additionally to the test API CuteTest provides you with a console and a GUI frontend (that are built on CuteTest&#8217;s API). Especially the GUI frontend make viewing test results much easier than with QTestLib&#8217;s console output.

	

	CuteTest has been tested on Windows, Linux (Ubuntu/Gnome), and Mac OS X (Lion). It should, however, run on every operating system that allows the creation of subprocesses.

            <description><![CDATA[Greetings from the LinuxMCE project :)
In short, LinuxMCE is an open source home automation project that plugs into your home. Lights, climate, media, telecom, security, and so much more including and on screen user interface. We embarked on a project about a year ago to update our user interface, as it was sorely stuck in an age gone by and developing new looks within its archaic setup was discouraging to most. 

	After taking a hard look at various tool&#45;kits, we opted to utilize Qt and QML for our user interface update for many reasons, not the least of which being the extensive system and slots system that we envisioned would work well with an event driven system such as LinuxMCE. After our sample project of creating a simulated Qt / qml device that interfaced with a system generated c++ api worked better than expected, we moved to tackle the user interface with our goal being simple: Extend control to every controllable surface in the home. This is where the cross platform (and they apparently mean it!) aspect of Qt came into play as we had multiple targets and maintaining multiple codebases was a realistic option.

	Fast forward about 8 months. We are in the beta release of our Android Orbiter that utilizes necessitas to bring Qt and QML to the Android platform. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGNp1&#45;g0jEE Is an example the entire concept of LinuxMCE, and the portability of Qt has allowed us to extend this vision to an entire new generation of devices. We currently have
&#45;Linux X11 ,Mac OS ,Android, Windows is still in explosive alpha ;) , Harmattan , &#45;iOS hopefully very soon according to our lead mac developer. And I would be remiss to mention the skinning engine based on qml thats designed for community input, a fan fav at the forums.

	Lastly, I would just like to say as a newbie programmer (started learning c++ at the beginning of the project and some how became the developer of it) the docs have been quite helpful in figuring out how to work one&#8217;s way through this process. Qt is quite the awesome toolkit.

            <title>FeetWetCoding: an open source project to help people learn C++ the fun way with Qt!</title>

            <description><![CDATA[FeetWetCoding is a set of C++ source and header files, with html documentation, that helps the beginning programmer as they learn C++.

	The executable UI is laid out such that the student&#8217;s exercise drawing area and a text output area are on the left, and identical widgets are on the right for the solution.  Students learn programming with our learning framework by getting their code (whose output is displayed on the left side) to match the solution output on the right.  When they are done, or if they get stuck, they can check the solution code which is also included.

	Screenshots of FeetWetCoding in action [plus.google.com].

	Our software allows the beginner to draw simple graphics on the screen without first having to learn a widget toolkit.  With our learning framework, the beginning programmer is drawing on the screen the first day, and is not limited to cout console style programs.  We believe that learning to program is a lot more engaging when graphics are involved, especially for younger students.  Our software uses the Qt library, but no knowledge of Qt is required of the beginning programmer.

	FeetWetCoding is an open source project that is free to individuals to use and modify.  It is not finished yet, but is in active development.

	Click the ZIP button on our Github page [github.com] to download the latest source.  Since we are using Qt and the Qt Creator IDE, our source will run unmodified on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.  All that is required is a screen resolution at least 1024 &#215; 768, and the free Qt SDK, which is about 1.6Gb and with broadband takes about twenty minutes to download.  Instructions for installing the Qt SDK are included in the FeetWetCoding distribution.

	Once you unzip the project files, open README.html, or visit our online documentation.

	A wiki and forums are being setup on feetwetcoding.com [feetwetcoding.com].]]></description>
