== What are STRIDE Test Units? ==
  
STRIDE enables testing of C/C++ code through the use of xUnit-style test units. Test units can be written by developers, captured using an SCL pragma, and executed from the host. STRIDE facilitates the execution of some or all of the test units by automatically creating entry points for the execution of test units on the target.  
+
'''STRIDE Test Units''' is a general term for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit xUnit-style] test modules running within the STRIDE runtime framework. These tests--written in C and C++--are compiled and linked with your embedded software and run in-place on your target hardware. They are suitable for both developer unit testing as well as end-to-end integration testing.
  
== Using test units  ==
+
An external [[Stride Runner|Test Runner]] is provided which controls the execution of the tests and publishes test results to the local file system and optionally to S2's Internet [[STRIDE Test Space]].
  
=== Prerequisites  ===
+
== Test Unit Features ==
 +
In all cases, STRIDE Test Units provide the following capabilities typical of all [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit xUnit-style] testing frameworks:
 +
* Specification of a test as a test method
 +
* Aggregation of individual tests into test suites which form execution and reporting units
 +
* Specification of expected results within test methods (typically by using one or more [[Test Code Macros]])
 +
* Test fixturing (optional setup and teardown)
 +
* Test parametrization (optional constructor/initialization parameters)
 +
* Automated execution
 +
* Automated results report generation
  
see [[Host_Installation#Third Party Components|Perl requirements]].

=== Unique STRIDE Test Unit Features ===
 +
In addition, STRIDE Test Units offer these unique features:
 +
; On-Target Execution
 +
: Tests execute on the target hardware in a true operational environment. Execution and reporting is controlled from a remote desktop (Windows, Linux or FreeBSD) host
 +
; Dynamic Test and Suite Generation
 +
: Test cases and suites can be created and manipulated at runtime
 +
; [[Using Test Doubles|Test Doubles]]
 +
: Dynamic runtime function substitution to implement on-the-fly mocks, stubs, and doubles
 +
; [[Test Point Testing in C/C++|Behavior Testing]] (Test Points)
 +
: Support for testing of asynchronous activities occurring in multiple threads
 +
; Multiprocess Testing Framework
 +
: Support for testing across multiple processes running simultaneously on the target
 +
; Automatic Timing Data Collection
 +
: Duration are automatically measured for each test case.
 +
; Automatic Results Publishing to Local Disk and Internet
 +
: Automatic publishing of test results to [[STRIDE Test Space]]
  
===How to get started (Overview)===
+
[[Category:Test Units]]
 
 
The required steps to get started with writing test units are as follows:
 
 
 
<ol>
 
<li>Create a new Studio workspace (or open an existing one).</li>
 
<li>Set the workspace to compile in C++ mode (In Studio, choose Tools->Settings->Compile as Cpp).</li>
 
<li>Write a test unit. You may create a C++ test class or a C test function as your test unit. Click '''[[Test_Units#Test_Unit_Requirements|here]]''' for more information on creating test units.</li>
 
To implement a test unit as a test class:
 
<source lang=cpp>
 
#include <srtest.h>
 
 
 
class Simple {
 
public:
 
    int test1(void) { return  0;} // PASS
 
    int test2(void) { return 23;} // FAIL <>0
 
};
 
 
 
#pragma scl_test_class(Simple)
 
</source>
 
Or, as a test function:
 
<source lang=cpp>
 
#ifdef __cplusplus
 
extern "C" {
 
#endif
 
 
 
int test1(void)
 
{
 
    return 0; // PASS
 
}
 
 
 
int test1(void)
 
{
 
    return 23; // FAIL <>0
 
}
 
 
 
#pragma scl_test_flist("Simple", test1, test2)
 
 
 
#ifdef __cplusplus
 
}
 
#endif
 
</source>
 
 
 
<li>Compile the workspace & review the '''Simple''' interface in the Studio Interface tab</li>
 
<li>Create a script to generate the Intercept Module(IM) '''after''' the compilation step.
 
:For the simple STUB generation required for test unit execution, you can use the following code</li>
 
<source lang=perl>
 
use strict;
 
use Win32::OLE qw(in);
 
Win32::OLE->Option(Warn => 3);
 
my $intercept = $main::studio->Workspace->Intercept;   
 
$intercept->{Path} = $main::studio->Workspace->Path;
 
$intercept->{Name} = $main::studio->Workspace->Name;
 
map {$intercept->Item($_)->{Stub} = 1} (0..($intercept->Count - 1));
 
$intercept->Create();
 
</source>
 
<li>Optionally add custom scripts to automate the building and executing your application. Refer to [[Using Frameworks]] for more information regarding building and executing tests with a target device.</li>
 
<li>Ensure that the Studio workspace include path contains the location to all of your test unit declaration (header) files.</li>
 
<li>Once you have created one or more test units, ensure the following:
 
:* Workspace is compiled and saved
 
:* Intercept Module is generated (Stubs for all Test Units)
 
:* Target application re-built
 
:* Target application downloaded & started
 
:* STRIDE Connected to Target
 
</li>
 
 
 
<li>If your application is running, you can start executing test units.
 
:* You can test-execute individual test units interactively using the '''Studio interface''' view. To do this, open the user interface view corresponding to the test unit you would like to execute, then call it. The return values will indicate how many tests produced each of four (4) result types. Furthermore, the input to the entry point will allow you to select all methods for execution (the default) or individual methods via a dropdown list of enumerated values.
 
:* Once you are confident that the test units are behaving as expected, you can generate one or more execution scripts using the '''Script Wizard'''.  Sample '''[[templates]]''' for executing test unit entry points are provided in the %STRIDE_DIR%\templates\Script Wizard directory.
 
:* When writing scripts to execute test units, the [[AutoScript#ascript.TestUnits|AutoScript TestUnits]] collection is a powerful tool for test unit execution and reporting, and for obtaining test results.</li>
 
<li>For integration with larger regression test workspaces, we recommend that developers check in their test unit code and, optionally, the template-generated scripts that can be used to execute their test units.</li>
 
</ol>
 
 
 
===Pragmas for Test Units===
 
STRIDE supports three pragmas for capturing and qualifying test units:
 
 
 
*'''<code>scl_test_class ( class )</code>''': Declares a test class as captured. Once captured, STRIDE will generate the appropriate code for executing the test methods in the class. See the [[scl_test_class|scl_test_class page]] for more information.
 
*'''<code>scl_test_flist ( test-unit-name , test-function-name { , test-function-name } )</code>''': Declares a test unit as captured, by the specified test-unit-name. One or more functions (test methods) are associated with the test unit. Once captured, STRIDE will generate the appropriate code for executing the associated test methods. See the [[scl_test_flist|scl_test_flist page]] for more information.
 
*'''<code>scl_test_setup ( test-unit-name , method-name )</code>''': [optional] Declares a member method to be a setup fixture for the test unit. If specified, the setup method will be called before the execution of each test method. See the [[scl_test_setup|scl_test_setup page]] for more information.
 
*'''<code>scl_test_teardown ( test-unit-name , method-name )</code>''': [optional] Declares a member method to be a teardown fixture for the test unit. If specified, the teardown method will be called after the execution of each test method. See the [[scl_test_teardown|scl_test_teardown page]] for more information.
 
 
 
== Test Unit Requirements  ==
 
 
 
Several variations on typical xUnit-style test units are supported. The additional supported features include:
 
 
 
*Test status can be set using STRIDE Runtime APIs ''or'' by specifying simple return types for test methods.
 
*Simple return types: 0 = PASS; &lt;&gt; 0 = FAIL
 
*void return type with no explict status setting is assumed PASS
 
*Test writers can create additional child suites and tests at runtime by using Runtime APIs.
 
*We do not rely on exceptions for reporting of status.
 
 
 
The STRIDE test class framework has the following requirements of each test class:
 
 
 
*The test class must have a suitable default (no-argument) constructor.
 
*The test class must have one or more public methods suitable as test methods. Allowable test methods always take no arguments (void) and return either void or simple integer types (int, short, long, char or bool). At this time, we do not allow typedef types or macros for the return values specification.
 
*the scl_test_class pragma must be applied to the class.

== 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 2 alternate 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.
 
 
 
=== C Test Functions ===
 
 
 
The following C APIs are provided:
 
 
 
*'''<code>srTestSuiteAddSuite</code>''': creates an additional sub-suite at runtime.
 
*'''<code>srTestSuiteSetName</code>''': sets the name of the specified suite.
 
*'''<code>srTestSuiteSetDescription</code>''': sets the description of the specified suite.
 
*'''<code>srTestSuiteAddTest</code>''': creates an additional test case at runtime.
 
*'''<code>srTestCaseSetName</code>''': sets the name of the specified test case.
 
*'''<code>srTestCaseSetDescription</code>''': sets the description of the specified test case.
 
*'''<code>srTestCaseAddComment</code>''': adds a comment to the specified test case.
 
*'''<code>srTestCaseSetStatus</code>''': explicitly sets the status for the specified test case.
 
*'''<code>srTestSuiteAddAnnotation</code>''': creates an annotation at runtime.
 
*'''<code>srTestAnnotationAddComment</code>''': adds a comment to the specified annotation.

=== C++ Test Classes ===
 
The Runtime Test Services APIs work equally well from C test functions and C++ test classes. If, however, you choose to derive your C++ test classes from the STRIDE Runtime base class, ''srTest'', then you will have access to member objects in srTest and their methods that provide the same functionality as the C API. The srTest base class provides two Member Objects, via which you can access functionality:
 
 
 
'''''Member Objects''''':
 
 
 
*''testSuite'', which has methods:
 
**'''<code>AddSuite</code>'''
 
**'''<code>SetName</code>'''
 
**'''<code>SetDescription</code>'''
 
**'''<code>AddTest</code>'''
 
**'''<code>AddAnnotation</code>'''
 
**'''<code>AddAnnotation.AddComment</code>'''
 
*''testCase'', which has methods:
 
**'''<code>SetName</code>'''
 
**'''<code>SetDescription</code>'''
 
**'''<code>AddComment</code>'''
 
**'''<code>SetStatus</code>'''

== Scripting a Test Unit ==
 
 
 
To automate the execution and reporting of a Test Unit a script is required. Scripts can be written by hand or automatically generated using the Script Wizard and a corresponding template script. A scripting tool for executing a test unit is the [[AutoScript#ascript.TestUnits|AutoScript TestUnits]] collection. An [[AutoScript#ascript.TestUnits.Item|Ascript TestUnit]] object assembles all of the reporting information for the test unit and its corresponding test methods.
 
 
 
*Require useage of the [[AutoScript#ascript.TestUnits|AutoScript TestUnits]] collection
 
*Can be written by hand (refer below)
 
*Can leverage [[Templates|Templates]] via the Script Wizard
 
*Order of multiple test units dictated by SUID assignment

What are STRIDE Test Units?

STRIDE Test Units is a general term for xUnit-style test modules running within the STRIDE runtime framework. These tests--written in C and C++--are compiled and linked with your embedded software and run in-place on your target hardware. They are suitable for both developer unit testing as well as end-to-end integration testing.

An external Test Runner is provided which controls the execution of the tests and publishes test results to the local file system and optionally to S2's Internet STRIDE Test Space.

Test Unit Features

In all cases, STRIDE Test Units provide the following capabilities typical of all xUnit-style testing frameworks:

  • Specification of a test as a test method
  • Aggregation of individual tests into test suites which form execution and reporting units
  • Specification of expected results within test methods (typically by using one or more Test Code Macros)
  • Test fixturing (optional setup and teardown)
  • Test parametrization (optional constructor/initialization parameters)
  • Automated execution
  • Automated results report generation

Unique STRIDE Test Unit Features

In addition, STRIDE Test Units offer these unique features:

On-Target Execution
Tests execute on the target hardware in a true operational environment. Execution and reporting is controlled from a remote desktop (Windows, Linux or FreeBSD) host
Dynamic Test and Suite Generation
Test cases and suites can be created and manipulated at runtime
Test Doubles
Dynamic runtime function substitution to implement on-the-fly mocks, stubs, and doubles
Behavior Testing (Test Points)
Support for testing of asynchronous activities occurring in multiple threads
Multiprocess Testing Framework
Support for testing across multiple processes running simultaneously on the target
Automatic Timing Data Collection
Duration are automatically measured for each test case.
Automatic Results Publishing to Local Disk and Internet
Automatic publishing of test results to STRIDE Test Space
