How do I write unit tests and add test targets in qmake for C++?

Writing unit tests in C++ using qmake involves incorporating a testing framework, creating test source files, and specifying the test targets in your qmake project file. Popular testing frameworks include Google Test and Catch2. Below is an example of how to set up Google Test with a qmake project.

TEMPLATE = app CONFIG += c++11 CONFIG += test # Add the test configuration # Specify the sources and headers for your application SOURCES += main.cpp \ my_class.cpp HEADERS += my_class.h # Include the Google Test framework include(google_test.pri) # Include the Google Test .pri file # Add your test file test.sources = my_class_test.cpp test.headers = my_class.h test.depends = my_class # Create your test target test.target = my_class_test test { CONFIG += c++11 LIBS += -lgtest -lgtest_main # Link against Google Test libraries INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD # Include the current directory for headers SOURCES += $$test.sources HEADERS += $$test.headers }
