You're almost there: it's just that you're trying to make the list-widget checkable, rather than each list-widget-item.

Try this instead:

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, QtCore

self.listWidgetTestCases = QtWidgets.QListWidget()

for testcases in root.iter('testcase'):
    testcase_name = str(testcases.attrib)

    item = QtWidgets.QListWidgetItem(testcase_name)
    item.setFlags(item.flags() | QtCore.Qt.ItemIsUserCheckable)
    item.setCheckState(QtCore.Qt.Unchecked)
    self.listWidgetTestCases.addItem(item)

(NB: for PyQt4, use QtGui instead of QtWidgets)
