passing arguments to my qttestlib class

[newtonianb]

I am using QTest::qExec to start my qttest class like so
QTest::qExec(test, argc, argv);

How do I retrieve or use the parameters (argc and argv) from inside the QTTestclass, I tried to modify the constructor to accept them but it gives me "illegal default arguments"?

class myQTestClass: public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT

public :
myQTestClass(QWidget *parent = NULL) ;

Why would you need to pass command line arguments to your test class?

Basically I have this function inside my testclass that needs to run with a specific string.
I want it to run using a filename specified. So I would like to be able to pass a filename as a QString to that test function. My plan was to run it like below however I have a feeling this is not exactly how this works as filename.txt is actually supposed to be a test data? How can I do this?

myApp.exe -myFunc:filename.txt -myfunc:filename2.txt -myfunc:filename3.txt

I didn't get why passing parameters to constructor may fail. Any way it's conceptually wrong to pass parameters to unit tests, since they are supposed to be the same every run to ensure stability of implementation code.

#include <QtTest/QtTest>
#include <QtCore/QDebug>

class TestQString: public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    TestQString(QObject *parent = 0, int argc = 0, char ** argv = 0);
private slots:
    void toUpper();
};

TestQString::TestQString(QObject *parent, int argc, char ** argv)
    : QObject(parent)
{
    qDebug() << argc << argv;
}

void TestQString::toUpper()
{
    QString str = "Hello";
    QCOMPARE(str.toUpper(), QString("HELLO"));
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    QTEST_DISABLE_KEYPAD_NAVIGATION
    TestQString tc(0, argc, argv);

    return QTest::qExec(&tc, argc, argv);
}
#include "testqstring.moc"

You might also have a loot at http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/qtestlib-tutorial2.html
If you read your test data from a file, you have a clean way to alter the test execution.

I think altering test execution is very much against the idea of unit testing. In case subset of tests has to be executed, there are command line arguments:
