UI/Application Exerciser for a Qt app?

Vadi2

Is there anything like Androids UI/Application Exerciser Monkey (https://developer.android.com/tools/help/monkey.html) that I can use on my desktop Qt application? Anythin in general, not even Qt-specific, would help.

Hi,

Maybe "Squish":http://www.froglogic.com/squish/gui-testing/editions/qt.php could do the job

I don't see how - it's a GUI tester, it doesn't seem to have a feature to randomly generate input events like monkey does. Still looking for an answer.

You can use Ruby and do all kinds of GUI test automation. That's how the QA guys at my company do it anyway.

I don't know Ruby - I'm looking for a desktop equivalent of this tool: https://developer.android.com/studio/test/monkey.html

@Vadi2 Ah ok... here ya go this may help then:

I never use them as I tend to hand test my GUIs and then there's the ones that are ruby tested. I don't know ruby either, but it doesn't look hard to learn at all.
