STRIDE Runner
The STRIDE Test Unit Runner Application
The stride executable runs target-based tests from a host computer and optionally uploads results to STRIDE Test Space. The program also can be used to list the names of all Test Units that exist in a STRIDE database file.
The stride executable is available to run on Windows XP and on Linux x86.
Running Tests
You may specify either built-in diagnostics or user tests to be run.
Input
database file
tests to run
Output
console output
local xml file
test space
Syntax
stride [options]
Any warnings or errors that occur during execution are written to the standard output device.
Prints a summary of results on the console: passed/failed/in progress/not in use
by default, xml output is written to the db directory using db name with xml extension
run a test
check program version
list database contents
run diagnostic test
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| --version | Print version information. |
| --database arg | Specifies the name of an existing STRIDE database (.sidb) file that will be used for test execution. |
| --device arg | Specifies the parameters to be used to connect to the target device (i.e. TCP:host:port or COMport:rate:mode). For example: TCP:localhost:8000 or COM7:28800:8N1 or /dev/ttyS2:57600:8N1 |
| --timeout (=0) | Specifies a watchdog timeout (in milliseconds) per single execution step. (0 = infinite timeout) |
| -r [ --run ] arg (=/(*)) | Specifies a list of Test Units to execute and their order of execution with optional grouping by suite.
- = remaining For example: /(TU1,TU2,TU3) "/Suite1/Suite2(TUa, TUb)" /Suite(*) "TUx TUy TUz" |
| -u [ --upload ] [=arg(=full)] | Specifies an upload of results to STRIDE Test Space. Arg specifies full or incomplete/incremental/complete. |
| --testspace arg | Specifies the root STRIDE Test Space URL and credentials. (i.e. http://host:port@user:pwd) |
| --project arg | Specifies the name of the STRIDE Test Space project to which the results will be uploaded |
| --space arg | Specifies the name of the STRIDE Test Space project's test space. |
| --name arg | Specifies the name under which the results will be uploaded to STRIDE Test Space |
| --list | Lists all Test Units in the specified STRIDE database |
| --diagnostics | Performs a set of built-in diagnostic tests on the target. Verifying_Installation |
| -o [ --output ] arg | Specifies the local file to which results will be written. |
| -O [--options_file] arg | A file that contains command line options. The format is the same as the command line with the only addition that it could be split on multiple lines. A line starting with "#" symbol is ignored.
This option is necessary if the length of the command line string exceeds system limits. Otherwise it is provided only as a convenience. |
