What's New
Based on customer feedback, in this release we have many key usability improvements and bug fixes.
Usability Improvements
STRIDE Runner
Stride Runner is a new command line host based tool that allows performing target diagnostics and running target-based tests from a host computer and optionally uploading results to STRIDE Test Space.
STRIDE Test Space
STRIDE Test Space is a hosted web application for storing and analyzing your test results. Manually (using the web interface) or automatically from one of the STRIDE execution tools (STRIDE Runner or STRIDE Studio) the user now can create a fluid hierarchy of test results that adapts to shifting needs during a product lifecycle.
Framework
The product has been repackaged. In addition to the STRIDE Studio package, a new STRIDE Framework package has been introduced. The new package provides support for Windows and Linux host clients.
