    Qt Code:

    2. {
    3. QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
    4. QFile file("testFile");
    5. if(!file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly))
    6. qDebug()<<"Error opening the file";
    7. QTextStream streamToWrite(&file);
    8. const char* test = "Testing file write";
    9. streamToWrite<<test;
    10. file.close();
    11. return a.exec();
    12. }

    Are you Getting any error? The file is created or not? Try taking the content in a QString.

    File is created in directory where sources are present. I expected it to be in the directory of executable and I was wrong. Able to write the strings properly using QTextStream, wondering why using QDataStream writes some extra characters to File

    Because of encoding. QDataStream is used to write binary data, if your concern is only text better stuck with QTextStream.
