Thanks for the example, but there seems to be a glitch.

$ ./QtDBusClient 
Call to multiply failed: No such object path '/Calculator'

It can be fixed by replacing
QDBusInterface iface("my.test.SCalculator", "/Calculator", "my.test.ICalculator", QDBusConnection::sessionBus());
with
QDBusInterface iface("my.test.SCalculator", "/my/test/OCalculator", "my.test.ICalculator", QDBusConnection::sessionBus());

But is that how it should be?
Tested with Qt 5.9.2
