Test Modules Overview

The STRIDE scripting solution allows users to take advantage of the power of dynamic languages on the host to execute behavior-based test scenarios on the device under test. Some of the advantages of host based script tests are:
- test coverage can be expanded without any changes to the target device.
- sophisticated device automation possible using facilities available on the host.
- no additional code space requirements on the device once the software under test is instrumented.
- powerful data validation techniques are possible using the power of the host (validating large media files generated by the target device, for example).
- large library of extension modules are available for standard dynamic languages (e.g. cpan for perl)
The STRIDE scripting solution offers some of the following unique advantages:
- convenient packaging in the form of test modules or test scripts.
- automatic result report generation for STRIDE test modules.
- easy execution of one or more test modules using the STRIDE Runner.
- seamless integration of test results from both target-based unit tests and script test module tests.
- centralized report viewing and collaboration using STRIDE Test Space
The STRIDE scripting solution currently only supports perl on Windows, Linux or FreeBSD hosts.
