The Stride 2.1 embedded software verification platform improves code quality by enabling device development teams to accelerate continuous integration, testing and verification
S2 Technologies (S2) has announced the availability of the Stride 2.1 embedded software verification platform. This platform is designed to reduce complexity and improve code quality by enabling device development teams to accelerate continuous integration, testing and verification. Stride 2.1 adds significant new functions to extend Stride's readiness for enterprise-scale deployments.

.NET port supports microcontroller family
Embedded developers will now be able to take advantage of Microsoft .NET and Visual Studio tools when designing solutions based on the NXP LPC2000 and LPC3000 family of microcontrollers
In particular, Stride 2.1 adds support for controlling and automating C/C++ test code on the target, a new wizard to automatically generate test scripts and an enhanced user interface for capturing and qualifying application programming interfaces (API) to expedite deployment by developers.
'Given the complexity of integrated hardware/software systems, there is a clear and compelling need for ways to improve and accelerate the testing and verification of systems', says Steve Balacco, Analyst of the Embedded Software Practice at Venture Development Corporation.
'Given both cost constraints and time to market demands, development teams should look to implement comprehensive testing programs to identify and mitigate risks over the project schedule'.
Stride 2.1 has features that result in effective large-scale use of the verification platform during complex development projects.
Stride allows developers to quickly write target-resident test applications in C/C++ while providing remote control and aggregating both test results and reporting on the host.

By exploiting the virtual host-target environment created by Stride, this capability provides developers with the flexibility to seamlessly create tests that execute on the host and/or the target platform, depending on testing objectives and requirements.
The Stride 2.1 Script Wizard automatically generates test scripts on the host that either remotely exercise and verify code on the target or automate and control test code executing on the target.
Developers can easily create various templates for different types of testing and then select one template to auto-generate test scripts for a set of application interfaces.
The Stride Script Wizard not only accelerates test-case development but also helps ensure uniformity and reusability of tests.
Stride's API capture-and-qualification user interface permits developers to quickly select and accurately characterise the application interfaces involved in testing.
In addition, this feature set enables developers to clarify API ambiguities in pointers, unions and other complex data structures.
It allows Stride to properly marshal and represent data across host and target platforms, making testing and verification easier and more reliable.
'Stride remains the only integrated solution for accelerating testing and verification of software on embedded devices', explains Mark Underseth, CEO of S2 Technologies.
'Stride 2.1 incorporates features that will make it easier and faster for development teams to gain visibility into their software health and increase predictability of releases, thereby enabling engineering organisations to more effectively manage software complexity'.
The Stride 2.1 embedded software verification platform will be available in June with a starting price of US $8,300.
Current Stride licensees will receive Stride 2.1 as a no-cost upgrade.
