Introduction

There is a plug-in for Qt Creator 2.0.1 and 2.1 which connects Qt Creator with Testplanner.

To use the plug-in, you need to install the following:

In case you don't have Qt Creator already installed, you can install it from either repositories or from the Qt download web page.

Install Qt Creator from repositories (Qt Creator 2.0.1 available at least on Ubuntu 10.10):

Download and install Qt Creator from the Qt Downloads web page

Download and install Qt Creator or Qt SDK from here.
Select the installation root dir during the installation process. If in case of Qt SDK installation,

Qt Creator will be installed into QtCreator sub directory of the SDK root directory.

Download and install the Testplanner plug-in either as a debian package or a tar ball

Debian package (available for Testplanner 0.4.0 & Qt Creator 2.0.1 installed from repository)

sudo dpkg -i Testplanner-qtcreator-2.0.1-plugin_0.4.0_i386.deb

Tar ball

Extract the plug-in files to the Qt Creator installation root directory with Archive Manager or by typing the following shell commands:

cd [qt-creator-installation-root-dir]
[sudo] tar xf [path-to-Testplanner-plugin-tar-ball]

Verify installation by checking that the files have been extracted to the correct location:

ls [qt-creator-installation-root-dir]/lib/qtcreator/plugins/Nokia/*TestPlanner*

With the Testplanner plug-in you can

Open, edit, and save *.xml files with Testplanner editor
Navigate in a testplan with Test Plan Navigator tree view in the Qt Creator side bar
View the edited test plan in the HTML preview.

Preview does not work with some Qt Creator versions downloaded from the download web page
