Overview

3DSlicerQtTesting.png

Too lazy to do the same actions over and over? QtTesting is the answer! The QtTesting library provides you with an easy way to record and play macros with 3DSlicer. Included in this library is a user-friendly recording interface that shows you what actions you're recording as well as a simple and smart playback interface that will allow you to control actions whenever you want. With no input from the user, QtTesting record all accomplished actions from the point you have started the record until you stop it! "Create a puppet and let it do the rest ... "

Slicer developers already use this library to record tutorials and test Slicer3D application.
