[bt-devel] Using QTest with BibleTime

[Gary Holmlund]

Another possible framework I am familiar with is Google test. We used it 
at work. It would certainly be a better choice for code that does not 
have Qt (swordxx ?) and works fine with Qt code also.

I will look into adding the tests to CI. I don't think it will be hard.
