Developing a QML Keypad with TDD
Although Qt comes with a unit-test framework QuickTest for QML code, hardly any QML GUIs are unit-tested, let alone developed with TDD (test-driven development). One reason is that many developers regard unit tests for GUI code as a waste of time. Another reason is that QuickTest is poorly documented. My post will change this with...
Burkhard on Qt Embedded Systems: No. 23
My newsletter will go out one week late on 8 November 2021. In October, I gave 6 legacy code workshops and 2 license compliance workshops, and started a new coaching project. I have started the Win Without Pitching Bootcamp this week and must prepare my talk Hexagonal Architecture: The Standard for Qt Embedded Applications at...

My Talk “A Successful Architecture for Qt Embedded Systems” at Qt Day Italy 2021
Creating an architecture means answering many questions about the ecosystem, in which the Qt embedded system operates. While the questions are very similar for all Qt embedded systems, the answers and their priorities differ. So, you should be able to transfer the questions and answers from my running example, a harvester terminal, to your system.
Burkhard on Qt Embedded Systems: No. 18
My May newsletter is all about system design and architecture. The trigger for my binge was the inspiring Software Architecture Workshop held by Ruth Malan and Dana Bredemeyer. I wrote two posts about the architecture of Qt embedded systems (more to come) and read the relevant parts of five books to understand the authors’ unique...
Architecture of Qt Embedded Systems: Single vs. Multiple GUI Applications
Our quest for a successful architecture of a harvester terminal continues. In this episode, we discuss when a system with a single application is good enough and when a system with multiple applications and a window manager is the better choice. Sometimes, a single-application system with a window manager is just the right choice.

Until now my newsletter went out on the last day of the month. From now on, I’ll send out the newsletter on the first Monday of the month. On the Friday before, I’ll announce the contents of the newsletter on my blog (this post). This gives me at least one weekend to write the newsletter...
Using Qt 5.15 and Qt 6 under LGPLv3
Nearly exactly 5 years ago, I wrote my first article about Using Qt 5.6 and Later under LGPL. The trigger then was the switch from LGPLv2.1 to LGPLv3 with Qt 5.6. The trigger now is the switch from Qt 5 to Qt 6. All the Qt modules under LGPLv3 5 years ago are still available...
