Behavior Driven GUI Testing of Embedded, Mobile and Desktop Qt HMIs
summary
Automated GUI tests run against Qt apps using the Squish GUI Tester with integrated BDD support that parses Gherkin feature files and generates script skeletons (Python shown). Demo builds reusable, parameterized scenarios for a QML map app, records actions, handles flaky screenshot checks with masks, and executes distributed runs via squishserver/squishrunner producing HTML reports; QML support took several man‑months to implement and the demo passes except for one intentional failing data row.
