Introduction

The STRIDE Reporter allows you to track and report test cases for scripts, store test data in XML format, and produce HTML output for viewing of test case results.

The STRIDE Reporter tracks two primary objects: Suites and Test Cases, which are further described as follows:

  • A Suite is a collection of Test Cases and other Suites. A Suite has a name, a description, and zero (0) or more children, which can be either Test Cases or other sub Suites.
  • A Test Case represents a single pass/fail item and it consists of a name, a description, any test data that is added during the lifetime of the TestCase, and a status. The status can be any one of the following:
    • PASS
    • FAIL
    • IN PROGRESS
    • NOT APPLICABLE (or N/A)

Method Creates a new Suite in the collection.  A name may be provided, but will default to TestSuite_# where # is chosen as 1 greater than the current Count of the collection. Returns the new object or throws an exception if an object with the provided name already exists. Any name that contains path separation characters (forward or back slashes) will be treated as a suite path and trigger the creation all child suites represented by the path string.
