I think he wants a macro to execute a branch only in debug compilation  
mode,
ie. he's probably looking for Q_ASSERT(deleteSuccedded(path));
or in doubt sth. stronger than debug that only acts on testing, ie. a  
global cmake
option "TEST_MODE", so that he can
# if TEST_MODE
if (!deleteSucceeded())
    qFatal("my code is crap");
#endif

or even simplifying to
TEST(deleteSucceeded(), "my code is crap");
analogous to Q_ASSERT_X usage
