Qt and Python; code easily using the Pytest framework
summary
pytest plus the pytest-qt plugin proves that Qt/Python GUIs become testable with concrete tools not promises: it exposes QTestLib, adds higher-level APIs like fixtures with dependency injection and yield-based teardown, offers wait_signal / wait_signals / wait_until / wait_callback helpers for async waits, provides a model tester for QAbstractItemModel correctness, captures Qt warnings and logging, translates C++ exceptions into test failures, and plugs into the ~750+ pytest plugin ecosystem for CI and reporting.
