Building the TargetApp to Include Test Intro Sample

In this step, will will add a set of sample tests that provide an overview of STRIDE testing techniques. The Test Intro Sample tests are described in the linked article.

This step requires an installation of the STRIDE Samples package. If not installed, please see Package Installation for more information.

The SDK Makefile is set up so that all .c .cpp and .h files found in the directory SDK/Linux/sample_src (or, alternatively SDK\Windows\sample_src) are included in the compile and link of the testapp target.

Further--as a pre-compilation step--any .h files found in sample_src are submitted to the S2 compiler and subsequent Build Tools. This will result in

  • the detection of SCL Pragmas which declare Test Units in these .h files
  • the inclusion of metadata into the sidb file to describe these Test Units
  • the generation of test harnessing code to run the indicated Test Units and collect results

To begin, be sure that TestApp is not running, then copy the .c and .h files found in Samples/TestIntro to SDK/Linux/sample_src (or Windows equivalent). Then build the TestApp as described above.

Listing Test Units in the Database File

In this step, we will use stride to list the Test Units in the TestApp.sidb database.

Run stride as follows (or Windows equivalent):

stride --list --database=~/stride/SDK/Linux/out/TestApp.sidb

You should see output like this:

Loading database...
  s2_testintro_cclass
  s2_testintro_flist
  s2_testintro_testdoubles
  s2_testintro_testpoints

Note that the S2 diagnostic tests (which are present in this TestApp) are not listed.

Running All Tests

Here we will run all tests in the TestApp.sidb database.[1]

  1. Invoke TestApp in a target console as in earlier steps.
  2. Invoke stride as shown below and verify Summary results.
stride --database=~/stride/SDK/Linux/out/TestApp.sidb --device=TCP:localhost:8000

Running a Subset of Tests

Here we will run only the Test Units named s2_testintro_cclass and s2_testintro_flist against TestApp.

stride -r "s2_testintro_cclass, s2_testintro_flist" --database=~/stride/SDK/Linux/out/TestApp.sidb --device=TCP:localhost:8000
Loading database...

    > 2 passed, 1 failed, 0 in progress, 0 not in use.
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  Summary: 3 passed, 2 failed, 0 in progress, 0 not in use.

  1. Note that the S2 diagnostic tests are treated separately, and are not run unless the --diagnostics option is specified to stride.
