Test Double Sample

Introduction

The Function Double Samples are part of the STRIDE Test Unit Samples. The following content relates to the sample files and workspaces installed in %STRIDE_DIR%\Samples\TestUnits\FunctionDouble. This sample consists of a Visual Studio workspace for building a Windows Off-Target App, sample source code (C and C++ implementations), and a STRIDE workspace for doing more advanced test execution.

Getting Started

To begin, open the Visual Studio Solution file in the sample directory. This solution (and corresponding project) were created for Visual Studio 2005. If you have a later version of Visual Studio installed, you should be able to open this solution and it will be automatically upgraded if necessary. If you do not currently have any version of Visual Studio, it is recommended that you install the current free version of Visual Studio Express.

Once you have successfully opened the solution, rebuild it. The build process has custom STRIDE build rules integrated and will produce a STRIDE database, intercept module source files, and a Windows Off-Target App that incorporates the test class source.

Once the build is complete, perform the following steps to run the test classes in the workspace:

1. launch the Windows Off-Target App, FunctionDouble.exe. This will run in a standard console window.
2. open a command prompt window and change to this sample's directory.
3. at the command prompt, run the command TestUnitRun.pl -v. This will execute all of the test units in the workspace and open a browser to display the results.
4. quit the FunctionDouble.exe application by typing 'q' in its console window.

Function Double Sample

Now that you have built the Windows Off-Target App and executed the test classes it contains, you can take time to peruse the function double source and the corresponding results that each produces. This section provides a brief description for each.

DefinitionContext Examples

01_01_Test_Function

This example demonstrates uses of the scl_function pragma to qualify a captured function as a intercept candidate, where the intercept context is at the function definition, and the mangling type is explicit.

Command Line Execution

Command line execution for the function double sample is done using the TestUnitRun utility. Here are several examples of specific syntax to execute the sample. All of these commands can be invoked from a standard command shell (or other shell of your choosing) and the arguments shown assume that the commands are executed with the sample's directory as the starting directory. You must have your FunctionDouble.exe application running in order for the runner to be able to initiate a connection to the target simulator. In addition, you should verify that your %STRIDE_DIR%\bin\transport.cfg file is using the TCP transport to connect to port 8000 (these are the default settings when the product is installed).

Simple execution of all test units

The following command executes all of the test units found in the STRIDE database you have previously generated. For the purpose of this sample, since there is only one database, the -d parameter is not strictly needed, but it is shown here for completeness.

 TestUnitRun.pl -d FunctionDouble.sidb

This command executes all Test Units found in the database in descending alpha-numeric sort order. Any Test Unit initialization arguments are given default values (typically zero or NULL).

When you run this command, you should see console output like:

 Attempting connection using [Sockets (S2)] transport ...
 Connected to device.
 Initializing STRIDE database objects...
 Done.
 Running Test DefinitionContext::ExplicitMangling...
 Disconnected from device.

Workspace-based Execution

FunctionDouble.ssw, a workspace in the FunctionDouble directory, demonstrates the use of script execution with Studio to manage test order and hierarchy. This workspace was created using WorkspaceSetup.pl. The setup and teardown folders provide basic infrastructure scripts that start/stop the simulator application (FunctionDouble.exe) and to manage traceviews used for srPrint message collection. The scripts that drive the testing are in the workspace test folder. What follows is a brief description for each.

RunAll

This folder contains a script, All.js, that iterates through the entire collection of test units and executes them one at a time. The order of execution will be in ascending alphabetical order (by name) since the ArrangeBy collection method was called.

Run Individual

This folder shows how to use individual scripts to execute test classes. Each script has the following form:

 ascript.TestUnits.Item(TEST_UNIT_NAME).Run();

The TEST_UNIT_NAME is the name of the test unit to be run. The order and hierarchy of each script may be changed via the Studio tree control by moving the script within the Run Individual folder.
