RE: STRIDE is applied to both xUnit-style and system-level testing. Was surprised to see this statement. We usually tell customers that Stride can be used for all types of testing up to (pre) system test.

RE: If your primary interest is in integration or QA-style testing, proceed to the Test Scripts topic.

Tim - lets discuss.

You will be using the FrameworkSetup.pl script to setup packages for a Windows Framework.
Perhaps should be “You will be using the FrameworkSetup.pl script to setup a Workspace with packages using a Windows Framework.

Comment on Instructions->Setup (here’s a real nitpickety item which I would probably ignore). The instructions say Run the following from a command line (cmd.exe). Then Navigate to the workspace location – which I took as from the command line as well, i.e. entering “cd c:\... Then Double click on the file CapturingMessages.ssw – which of course you can’t do from the command line.

Inconsistency/error in “Wiki – Performing the Exercise One way Command Message with Payload By Value - First bullet states “…with a payload passed by pointer and POOL memory usage.” - “… and a payload consisting of a long field.” It’s not clear to me whether you’re asking for a payload of type long, or a payload of type structure with a single field of type long. The use of the word field is a little confusing.

Inconsistency/error in “Wiki – Performing the Exercise” One way Response Message with Payload By Pointer - First bullet states “…with a payload passed by value.” – inconsistent with exercise title “By Pointer” - “…and a payload consisting of an int field.” Again, is this to be a payload of type int, or a structure with a single field of type int.

Comment on “Wiki - Two Way Message with Response Payload” re: with an empty command payload, Since we define a Stride message as having an optional payload, I think the work empty may be misleading here. I think no payload is more accurate.

Inconsistency/error in “Wiki – Performing the Exercise” Broadcast Message with No Payload - First bulled states “…with a payload passed by value” – inconsistent with exercise title “No Payload”
