What does 'Asynchronous tests' and 'Auto tests' means?

[Hareen Laks]

I am currently self studying to sit "WIDGET UI AND APPLICATION ENGINE WITH QT 021-002". In the exam curriculum under the topic Qt Test there are two sub topics as 'Asynchronous tests' and 'Auto tests'.

Do they mean testing widgets and signals or something else? If somebody can clarify this to me it is really helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Tests that checks that an object asynchronous API works as expected.

And tests that do not require user interaction.

@SGaist Thank you. "object asynchronous API" Still problematic?

[SGaist]

You know about Qt's signals and slots architecture ?

[Hareen Laks]

@SGaist Yes, I know it, Thanks for your help.

That's what makes it asynchronous.
