---|---|---|
Create new project. Can you build, run and debug it? | automated | |
Set breakpoint, press F5 / Cmd + Y to build and run debugger, verify that program stops at a breakpoint that you set:
|
||
"Step into" a couple of times. Can you step into Qt source code (*.cpp file under QTDIR)?
(Mac: switch on 'Use Debug Versions of Frameworks' in run configuration. You need Qt sources.) |
||
Test debugging helpers/python lldb: Do classes like QImage or std::string show beautiful information instead of the raw structure? | automated | |
Step through some (not all) test* functions and check whether the displayed data looks sane | ||
Comment out the return statement inside the following functions one by one. Check whether you'll end up with a proper stack trace & locals display.
|
||
Test a breakpoint in a QThread:
|
||
Switch on temporarily 'Operate by Instruction' and check whether you see disassembler output and can step by instruction |
Test | Result | Annotation |
---|---|---|
Check I/O (qDebug, std::cout, std::cerr) | ||
Check "Run in Terminal". Use Terminal for input. | ||
Check nothing bad happens on a simple int main() {} program with no breakpoints set | automated |

Test unusual situations: Kill X 'externally' while debugging (both in a 'running' and 'stopped' state), where X is
