How does Q GISQGIS calculate the area of a polygon?

I am working on a project that requires the calculation of the area of a polygon by two different methods. I need to know what algorithm Q GISQGIS uses to calculate the area of a polygon. I know ESRI ArcGIS uses the shoelace (Gaussian) method and am looking for GIS software that uses a different method.
