Well the tool in the article you referenced sent random, but valid, input t=

the program.  Although I agree that it would be nice for a program to not=20

unrealistic.  Some signals might not be emitted from user input at all (for=

example, a signal emitted only on startup), so I don't think it's fair to=20
subject a program to that. ;-)

A program that would duplicate that tool for Qt would be a very nice testin=
g=20
tool however.
