STRIDE Test Space

What is STRIDE Test Space?

STRIDE Test Space is a hosted web application for storing and analyzing your test results. Test Space accepts data that results from the execution of STRIDE Test Units or Test Scripts. Data is uploaded to Test Space manually (using the web interface) or automatically from one of the STRIDE execution tools (STRIDE Runner or STRIDE Studio). Once data is uploaded, it is retained until it is manually removed or automatically deleted (depending on the space configuration).

STRIDE Test Space organizes results in a hierarchy of projects and test spaces. Each time you upload data to a test space, a new result set is created (unless you explicitly add your data to an existing result set). With a given result set, test results are further organized into test suites containing test cases. Any number of these organizational entities can be used to create a fluid hierarchy of test results that adapts to shifting needs during a product lifecycle.

Glossary

Test Case

This is the unit of measure for test results - and single pass/fail entity. Test cases can be supplemented with additional information in the form of annotations and comments.

Result Set

a result set is a collection of test suites and test cases that represent a complete set of test results for a given test space. In it's simplest form, is the output from a single execution of the STRIDE Runner for a given set of test units.

Test Space

A test space is a logical grouping of test results. Although STRIDE Test Space does not enforce any relationship between result sets, test spaces are only useful for analysis when you use them to hold sequential result set data that represent the same set of tests. That is, meaningful comparison between subsequent results sets can only be done when each result set represents execution of the same set of tests.

Each test space has properties that allow you to control who has access, if and how the results are compared to other results, whether to notify users of potential regressions, and how many result sets to keep in the space.

Project

A project is logical grouping of test spaces. Every test space must be assigned to one and only one project.
