Back to CTK Documentation

Overview

Testing of both CTK widgets and application built on top of CTK could leverage the capabilities offered by the QtTesting library developed by Paraview folks.

If the option CTK_USE_QTTESTING is enabled, the build system will:

• Download external project QtTesting
• Include the event translator and player required for custom CTK widgets. (Located in the same folder as their associated widget sources)
• Include the class ctkEventTranslaterPlayerWidget into CTKWidgets library
• If BUILD_TESTING is enabled: CTK widgets EventTranslatorTests will be compiled. These tests will use ctkEventTranslaterPlayerWidget and ensure that events associated with CTK widgets can be properly recorded and played.

Note: Option CTK_USE_QTTESTING will be automatically enabled if BUILD_TESTING is ON
