Testing Guidelines & QA Workflow

Sentinel relies on QtTest and CTest to ensure high reliability across core interfaces, stores, and view models.

1. Running Tests

Preferred Preset Workflow

cmake --preset tests
cmake --build --preset tests
ctest --preset tests

Direct Test Execution with Verbose Output

ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure

2. Test Suite Organization

Tests are organized under the tests/ directory:

  • tests/unit/core/: Unit tests for C++ core services, memory store, settings store, provider interface, and task planner.
  • tests/unit/ui/: Unit tests for QML view models, property bindings, and state transitions.
  • tests/integration/: Integration tests for SQLite schema migration, settings serialization, and Ollama endpoint discovery.

3. Writing Unit Tests

  1. Every core service or view model feature must be accompanied by unit tests.
  2. Use QtTest framework macros (QVERIFY, QCOMPARE, QSIGNALSPY).
  3. Isolated test databases should use in-memory SQLite (:memory:) or temporary scratch paths to prevent polluting user application state.
