STRIDE provides SDK builders with test-case management and SDK users with test foundation to speed time to market
United States of America (Press Release) September 9, 2007 --
SAN DIEGO–September 10, 2007–S2 Technologies (S2), the leader in embedded software verification, today announced its STRIDE continuous integration platform for use by software engineers in the development of cellular-handset software development kits (SDKs). Using STRIDE, a handset provider can now create, run and even deliver test cases as a component of its SDK. This leverages the domain expertise of the handset developer and allows the component provider to create reusable and automatable test scripts, or test assets, which can be used throughout the development process by anyone on the product team.
A handset SDK is an important tool for the success of a new handset, as it enables downstream telecom and service providers to add applications and customize features and services more easily and reliably. With time-to-market pressures on customer development teams, having a high-quality set of development tools, interfaces and sample code within an SDK can be a key factor in building and testing custom features.
“Building an embedded platform of any type requires integrating different code from multiple sources, including new code, existing code from other platforms and open source,” explained Mark Underseth, CTO and founder of S2. “Through visibility and comprehensive testing, STRIDE enables development teams to build quality into the integrated platform. Management can see and analyze quality progress throughout development and take corrective action if necessary. Developers can build and execute tests as a natural part of their daily work.”
Early insight into code quality enabled one SDK development team to identify and address quality issues sooner, deliver higher quality code to QA and achieve a more predictable release schedule. For every bug found and fixed, the developers added additional test cases surrounding the specific issue. In all, this SDK development team wrote almost 200,000 lines of test code for the 400,000 lines of functional code in the SDK. This effort resulted in an almost-unheard-of 95-percent test coverage of SDK functions and 90-percent coverage of lines of executable code.
