What's New

Based on customer feedback, in this release we have many key usability improvements and bug fixes.

Usability Improvements

Tests in Script

A new STRIDE scripting solution has been developed to allow users to take advantage of the power of dynamic languages on the host to execute expectation and functional test scenarios on the device under test. Note: this is only available for Windows desktops. The next release will also support Linux host machines.

File Transfer Support

The set of File Transfer Services has been expanded with analogs to the C standard fgets/fputs.

Tracing

The STRIDE Runner has been extended to allow tracing on source instrumentation.
