Exercise 14: Qt Testing

GitHub Invitation URL: exercise14

Steps:

1. Clone the assignment for today after accepting the GitHub invitation at the link above. The repository contains five files:

• toggle_widget.h defines a Qt widget that uses a push button to toggle a radio button representing a light.
• toggle_widget.cpp is the implementation of the toggle widget
• main.cpp sets up the application and starts the event loop
• test_toggle_widget.cpp is a skeleton test for toggle_widget
• CMakeLists.txt is the build configuration for the exercise

2. Build and run your application. Manually test that when the button is clicked the radio button toggles on/off.

3. Add a code to test_toggle_widget.cpp to test that when the button is clicked the radio button toggles on/off.

4. Run your tests and check they pass.

5. Now, use git to commit the source files changed to the local repository.

6. Finally, use git push to synchronize the repository with that on GitHub.

You have completed the Exercise.
