I'm pretty sure some are using QtTest. However, while the testing-specific
functionality in terms of assertions and expectations is roughly the same,
Google Mock offers powerful additional features on top of Google Test.
There used to be a mocking framework for Qt, too, but it seems to be
abandoned (last commit 3 years ago).

Our own internal projects are heavy consumers of GTest and GMock. Two
examples of sophisticated test suites:

  *
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity-scopes-api/trunk/files/head:/test/gtest/scopes/
  * http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mir-team/mir/utopic/files/head:/tests/

Feel free to reach out to me on IRC and I can help out in bootstrapping
your testing efforts.

Cheers,

  Thomas
