Modern GUI test automation for Qt teams
Testudos helps teams developing Qt applications automate realistic GUI tests, reduce manual regression effort, and integrate testing into everyday development workflows.
Built for product teams in MedTech, embedded, industrial and other quality-critical environment.
Introduction to Testudos
Affordable, fast to adopt, and built for real Qt teams, Testudos helps you automate GUI testing without enterprise-level costs. Get full bi-directional access to the Qt object tree and properties, write powerful tests in simple Python, connect without changing your codebase, run on embedded targets, and execute headlessly in CI. Faster start, lower cost, deeper control.
The tester writes any tests using methods from the Testudos API
The tester configures the application under test in the Testudos Setup application.
The tester runs test scenarios that automatically run through the application being tested.
Testudos returns test results and reports
No need to modify your app’s source code
Key Features
Discover how Testudos makes your codebase live long.
Two-Way Qt Communication
Get full bi-directional access to the Qt app, including the object tree, properties, and runtime state, so tests can inspect deeply and act precisely.
Real User Simulation
Automate clicks, typing, navigation, and other interactions the way a real user would, making GUI tests more realistic and reliable.
Deep Testing API
Use a rich Python API to find objects, read properties, wait for signals, validate states, and build advanced end-to-end test scenarios.
Embedded Target Support
Run Testudos against Qt applications on embedded targets, helping teams test real product environments instead of desktop-only setups.
CI-Ready Execution
Run tests headlessly from the command line and integrate them into CI pipelines for repeatable regression testing and faster feedback.
Extend with Any Python Logic
Combine Testudos with your own Python scripts to verify databases, logs, services, device state, or any other system behavior beyond the GUI.
Supported platforms
Competitive edge
A more affordable standard for Qt GUI test automation
Manual testing & custom solutions
- Hard to scale across growing products and teams
- High ongoing effort for repetitive regression cycles
- More fragile and dependent on individual team knowledge
- Slower feedback and higher risk of missed issues
- Custom frameworks are expensive to build and maintain
Squish
- Well-known commercial solution for Qt GUI testing
- High licensing cost can limit adoption across teams
- Heavier tooling model and more rigid workflow
- Less accessible for smaller teams or budget-conscious organizations
- Strong product, but not always the best fit for fast, flexible adoption
- Built to be a more affordable standard for Qt GUI automation
- Full bi-directional access to the Qt object tree and properties
- Simple Python-based workflow for faster onboarding and test authoring
- No need to modify your codebase to connect tests
- Runs headlessly in CI and can target embedded environments
- Flexible enough to extend with custom Python logic beyond the GUI
Regulatory complaint reports
Testudos generates professional test execution reports in PDF or JSON, including AI-generated natural language descriptions of test cases. This helps teams document results in a clear, reusable format for quality and compliance processes common in regulated industries such as MedTech, automotive, aerospace, and other safety-critical sectors.
