For a long time I wanted to create a full Continuous Integration environment that uses Qt for both building apps and testing. In fact, one of the most important things for me was to find the right way to integrate Qt Test. For CI I’ve started to use Travis since it is one of the most widely used environments in GitHub. I took that decision after seeing other Qt projects (Musescore and Stellarium) using it.
