To achieve this, I tried with making DummyApplicationSettings class by inheriting the ApplicationSettings class and change access specifiers of m_config to protected and then tried to change the config file location but there is NO any function in the QSettings to change the location of the config file. So dummy class also changed the main settings of the application while running the test.

  I tried many times, but not getting any positive results.
  
  In the derived class(DummyApplicationSettings) inherits the object of the QSettings (m_config) after that I used this function to change the path of the config file location: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsettings.html#setPath
  But this function doesn't affect existing QSettings objects.
  
  Therefore I removed that part of the unit test which is affecting the settings of GCompris because aqpplication settings are more important than a unit test.
