Hello, I have a number (4) of hand-held devices, which connect to a computer via usb (serial protocol) to be managed by a user executing application software on the host computer.
I wish to set up an Automated Test Framework (ATF) to test the "host software" with the hand-held devices. I want to test correct functionality of new host software features and verify that no regressions have crept into the host software (i.e. correct functionality of existing features). The host software executes on Mac OS X. The highest priority is to be able to test the latest host software against the latest firmware for each of the devices, however it would be good to be able to test against various firmware versions and various host software versions. Also, not all devices support all features provided by the host software, so I need someway of executing only the appropriate tests, and/or specifying that a test failure is expected. I'd like to produce test reports in various formats (text, pdf, html). Is this a STAF feature ?? Would it be a good idea to store test results in a database and then create reports from that ?? What support is there is STAF for storing test results and creating test reports ?? I presume STAF is capable of providing these features. Yes ?? I presume STAF will run equally well on OS X (e.g. a MacBook) or a Linux box or a Windows box. Yes ?? Is there a particular way to set up STAF to best provide the testing for my scenario described above ?? Thanks for any assistance and insights. I am new to automated test tools so hopefully STAF will be able to do what I want. Cheers, Brendan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ staf-users mailing list staf-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/staf-users
