Runtime Test Services

The Runtime Test Services (declared in srtest.h) are a set of APIs in the STRIDE Runtime that facilitate the writing of target based test code. These APIs make up an optional portion of the STRIDE Runtime and can be used to communicate additional information about tests to the host based reporting mechanism. These APIs also allow target test code to create additional test suites and test cases dynamically at runtime.

There are two ways of accessing these APIs: through C-based functions, or through a C++ base class from which you may derive your C++ test class. These are discussed below in C Test Functions, and C++ Test Classes sections below.

Refer to the SCL Reference Guide or the Runtime Developer's Guide for more detailed information about any of these APIs.

C++ Test Classes

The Runtime Test Services C APIs work equally well from C test functions and C++ test classes. If, however, you are using C++ it might be more convinient for you to derive your C++ test classes from the Runtime Test Services C++ base class, srTest. That way you will have access to a set of simpler to use C++ classes.

The following C++ classes are provided:

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 The use of these functions in the context of any test method will cause the STRIDE Test Unit framework to delete the default test case that was created for the current test method since their use implies that dynamic test cases will be created. In addition, the use of the dynamic test case creation methods will cause the framework to interpret the srTEST_CASE_DEFAULT value as the most recently created test case.
