There are two ways to run qml tests: 1-Execute the automated tests defined inside TestCase{} throughout tst_*.qml files (using a qmltestrunner): build_dir$ make check 2-Try out a test in a window for manual interaction (manual testing). Say you have a component called WidgetDrawer. If it has a test it will be called tst_WidgetDrawer.qml. To show it using neptune-qmlscene you run: build_dir/tests/qmltests$ make tryWidgetDrawer
