 ==About QtTestLib==
-QtTestlib is a lightweight testing library developed by Trolltech and released under the GPL (a commercial version is also available, for those who need alternative licensing). It is written in C++, and is cross-platform. It is provided as part of the tools included in Qt 4.1, and earlier versions were provided separately. Note that earlier versions had a different API, and the examples will not work with that earlier version.

Note that earlier versions had a different API, and the examples will not work with that earlier version.
 In addition to normal unit testing capabilities, QtTestLib also offers basic GUI testing, based on sending QEvents. This allows you to test GUI widgets, but is not generally suitable for testing full applications.

-This article provides guidance on writing unittests for Qt4 and KDE4, based on the QtTestLib framework provided starting with Qt4.1. It provides an introduction to the ideas behind unit testing, tutorial material on the [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qtestlib-manual.html QtTestLib framework], and suggestions for getting the most value for your effort.

 Similarly, lines 19 to 27 provide another test, which checks a setter, and a couple of accessor routines. In this case, we are using QCOMPARE, which checks that the conditions are equal. So if date.month() returns 3, then that part of that test will pass, otherwise the test will fail.
-{{Warning|As soon as a QVERIFY evaluates to false or a QCOMPARE does not have two equal values, the whole test is marked as failed and the next test will be stated. So in the example above, if the check at line 24 fails, then the check at lines 25 and 26 will not be run.}}

 In a later tutorial we will see how to work around problems that this behaviour can cause.

+In the example above, note that monthName is enclosed in quotes, and we no longer have a QFETCH call for monthName.
 The other QCOMPARE could also have been converted to use QTEST, however this would be less efficient, because we already needed to use QFETCH to get month for the setYMD in the line above.
