GitHub Copilot’s new Agent mode takes AI-assisted coding beyond autocomplete - scanning your whole project to plan and propose cross-language changes. In this post, we test it on a real-world QML/C++ app, showing how Agent mode automates complex refactoring while still requiring developer oversight.

The integration of artificial intelligence into software development environments has rapidly evolved, and Qt Creator is no exception. With the introduction of the Qt AI Assistant by Qt Company, developers working with Qt Creator now have access to AI models through the IDE. This post provides an introduction to the Qt Creator plugin.

This is part 1 of an ongoing series about AI coding with Qt.

Efficient embedded development relies on consistent environments, smart dependency management, and robust CI pipelines. Containers ensure reproducibility and streamline onboarding, while balancing source builds and pre-built packages keeps dependencies manageable. Optimized CI with parallel tests and hardware-in-the-loop improves feedback and quality. Incremental refactoring with atomic commits enables continuous improvement without disrupting development.

Common render issues and their solution -Part 3

If you are here from Part 1, you missed Part 2, somehow. You have tried everything from the first two parts that seemed applicable, and your screen is still a window to the void? No problem: we’ve gathered another five reasons black screen issues could be happening and how to go about fixing them. Issue […]

Common render issues and their solution - Part 2

If you are here from Part 1, welcome back. If you are wondering why we started at Part 2, go to Part 1. So, you tried everything from the first part (that was relative to you), and your screen is still a backlighting test? No problem. (Well.. I mean, clearly there is but […]

So, you've just poured your heart and soul into some real-time 3D rendering code and hit render. Wringing your hands in anticipation you wait for the screen to show your marvellous creation. Still... waiting. It says it's done but, nothing. Well, maybe not nothing but simply darkness. You stare into the deep dark […]

When I came to KDAB to work, working at home was a bit of a culture shock for me - I’d previously only ever worked in an open-plan office and had sworn that home working was not for me – I’d never manage to get anything done! However, I’ve found that home working suits me […]

In a previous blog post we introduced clazy, a clang plugin which makes the compiler understand Qt semantics, allowing you to get compile-time warnings about Qt best practices ranging from unneeded memory allocations to misuse of API, including fix-its for automatic refactoring. Today we'll do a round-up and present the checks related to connect statements, […]
