Let me get this straight.

This patch makes the option BUILD_TESTING work, i.e. skip testing if not set.

The solution that was committed to kwin, *additionally* sets BUILD_TESTING to false if Qt5Test isn't available. This doesn't prevent setting the option to false manually if someone has Qt5Test but doesn't want to build the tests.

Is this an accurate description of the issue?

I would add that, IMHO, all frameworks should handle this the same way.

I had a further look and they currently don't.
* kservice, kimageformats, ktexteditor... do it like this patch (manual option).
* kcoreaddons, karchive... don't have the option, they just skip autotests if Qt5Test is not found.
* ki18n, kguiaddons, kdbusaddons, threadweaver compile autotests unconditionally.

I'm confused - how did anyone without Qt5Test make it all the way to kio, which depends on kdbusaddons and ki18n, then?

Unless I missed something, I would say that by default tests should be compiled if Qt5Test is present (developers) and should not be compiled if Qt5Test is absent or if it is explicitly desired not to build tests (packagers).

Therefore:
1) doing both steps is good (i.e. doing like kwin).
2) it should be done in all frameworks (that have autotests, which is most of them)
Anyone up to the task?
