I can clearly see the confusion... ..let's see whether we can clear some things up! ;-) > Q1.

You misunderstand "GUI Test" - it's not a (unit) test framework displaying results in a GUI, but rather it is a framework that is supposed to test the GUI of the application under test. Squish can actually run automated without its own GUI and use a virtual (invisible) screen/terminal to "display" the application being tested. Please try to read up on the many different kinds of tests that exist in the software engineering field. Just to give you some key words you can type into Google/Wikipedia/whatever: * white box vs. black box tests * unit tests * integration tests * system tests * GUI tests * manual vs. automated tests * data driven tests * behavior driven tests * usability tests * A/B tests * test driven development etc. Once you've gotten an overview of the width and breadth of testing you may be better able to discern where in this spectrum your project lies. > Q2.

Just for GUI Test frameworks see (1). (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_GUI_testing_tools Most of them have at least an automatable non-GUI mode and some have an additional GUI mode. For Qt based applications/libraries the most commonly used tools are the built in QtTest module for unit tests and Squish for GUI tests. There are of course others, but those are the two most of us "senior Qt citizens" are familiar with and both of them are conveniently automatable.
