What's New

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

Usability Improvements

Test Double

Now in the context of a Test Unit a dependent function call can intercepted and replaced with a user defined Function Double. A set of new Test Double Samples for Test Units has been added.

Test Points

To support asynchronous tasks testing a set of new Testpoints APIs has been implemented. In the context of a Test Unit test point expectations could be set and validated. A new set of Test Point Samples for Test Units has been added.

Build Integration

A new STRIDE_ENABLED compiler switch (preprocessor directive) has been added to allow control over the compilation of STRIDE injected source (Test Macros or Name Mangling macros). The use of srIMON compiler switch (preprocessor directive) has been deprecated in favor of STRIDE_ENABLED.

Test Space

A new utility script is available to upload test results to STRIDE Test Space. (Consult your S2 Technologies representative for more information on STRIDE Test Space.) The s2Publish.pl script can be added to your STRIDE workspace script collection to upload your test results. Or, s2Publish.pl may be used from the command line.
