Validation Tool
Automate validation and testing
The straton software validation tool is designed for OEMs that want
to automate the validation of the straton instruction set, create test
applications and automate non-regression testing in order to identify
changes that impact behavior.
The validation can be done in the integrated simulation tool
in the straton Editor or connected through TCP/IP or serial
line with the real hardware platform.
AUTOMATED TESTING OF FBS
For each test program, the validation tool automatically:
Creates a new project using the straton database
Declares variables, programs and fills programs content
Compiles using the straton compiler
Connects to the runtime and downloads the project using
the straton networking interface
Forces values and checks
results using the straton
networking interface
The test stops after the first error. The tool provides a
complete listing of:
All test programs in ST format
All test cases and results
The tool can be run with various compiling options. Some
tests can be unchecked if some data types/features are not
implemented in the runtime.
TEST TOOL
Running test projects enables automatic functional testing at
the application level.
The tool automatically runs a set of test projects prepared
with the straton Editor. Each test project contains logic
to be tested plus some extra programs to check the result,
written with IEC languages. Input for the test tool is simply a
collection of straton projects exported in XML form. This tool
is particularly efficient for non-regression tests.
OEMs can prepare their own test projects and add them to
the collection. Such projects may include testing of OEM-
specific features and hardware.
The validation tools generate a report for any test project,
that can be used for checking non regression for real life use
cases.
