It is desirable to have tests focusing on the Cocoa platform plugin. The current Qt auto test suite is comprehensive and OK for catching errors in the platform plugin implementation, but we would like to have more focused tests.

Other Work:

• tests/auto/other/macnativeevent: Tests native event handling for QWidgets.
• tests/auto/macgui: Tests OS X GUI corner cases
• QTBUG-35968: Native evnet API for QTestLib

Requirements

• NSWindow and NSView native instance monitoring
• Native event generation
• UI scripting? (via AppleScript)

Current Work

• Manual test bench: qt-osx-testbench
• Auto test for QCocoaWindow: https://github.com/msorvig/qt-osx-testbench/blob/master/tst_qcocoawindow/tst_qcocoawindow.mm
