Release Notes

This page documents the changes in STRIDE version 4.1.01x (code name Grandview).

Please review this information before upgrading from an earlier version.

Note that if you are upgrading from a previous installation you must uninstall your existing STRIDE before installing version 4.1.01x.

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.

Change Details

License

A new licensing scheme has been implemented. Existing licenses will not work anymore and need to be reissued. Old and new licenses could co-exist at the same location.

Fixes

This section describes defects which have been corrected in STRIDE and the customer tracking number associated with them, if any, in brackets [].

In Linux SDK the PAL timer APIs may deadlock.
In Windows SDK the COM ports 1-9 may not be handled properly.
Generated IM code for Test Doubles is incorrect (compiler warning)
STRIDE Studio may crash when compiling unions with internal discriminants.
STRIDE Studio is unable to publish results to STRIDE Test Space. The support for Portal has been discontinued.

Host Tools

A new command line host based tool, STRIDE Runner, has been introduced.

Runtime

STRIDE Host Release 4.1.01x is compatible with the Runtime Version 4.1.01
Test Points APIs have been changed.
The signature of the PAL IO Service InData callback (palInDataCallback_t) has changed. The first argument is now a const pointer.
