0007 There are different ways to execute the tests:
0008 * navigate to the build folder and do 'make test'
0009 * navigate to the build folder and execute 'ctest'
0010 * navigate to the folder containing the actual test executable and execute it from there, e.g 'cd build/tests/import_export/ASCII && ./asciifiltertest'
0011
0012 When executing via ctest, different options are available to execute individual tests:
0013 * ctest -R filter  -  execute only tests having the substring 'filter' in the file name
0014 * ctest -E filter  -  execute all tests excluding tests having the substring 'filter' in the file name
0015 * ctest -I 1, 3, 5 -  execute the first, the third and the fifth tests only, use 'ctest -N' to determine which tests are available

0017 Check https://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Testing_With_CTest and ctest --help for more infos.
0018
0019 To selectively execute tests when starting the test binaries directly, simple add the name of the test function you want to execute as a parameter to the executable, e.g. './asciifiltertest testEmptyFileAppend'.
0020 Check http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtest-overview.html and -help output of a test executable for more infos.
