In addition, and ideally suiting test driven development, TrueVERIFIER now also supports a test scenario mode, where more complex test scenarios can be designed, thus testing many C functions as a group in a real use-case, rather than just testing each C function on its own.įeaturing a new test case debugger, the optional TrueANALYZER module measures the quality of your system tests by analyzing the execution flow when your test procedures exercise the software as it runs in the target board. The test engine and user interface have also been updated within this new release.

On completion the test results and measured test quality data is transferred and visualized within the TrueSTUDIO IDE. By examining your source code, TrueVERIFIER can automatically generate a test suite that is compiled, downloaded and executed on the target board automatically. Integrating seamlessly with TrueSTUDIO, the optional TrueVERIFIER module now has an automatic software testing function that can check return codes and affected global variables for each C function in the project. The trace log has graphical annotations on execution branches, and can be exported to a file for offline analysis. The recorded instruction trace log can be displayed in either C mode, mixed C and assembler mode, as well as in pure assembler mode. TrueSTUDIO v4.1 support ETM tracing using a Segger J-Trace JTAG probe, and ETB tracing for compatible ARM Cortex devices using any of the supported JTAG probes, such as the Segger J-Link. In this way, should an error occur it is possible to interrogate the trace logs and ascertain exactly what the processor was doing before a software error occurred. The new instruction tracing function records the execution flow in real-time for later analysis. Other features include the addition of automatic software unit testing within the optional TrueVERIFIER add-module, and a test case debugger within the optional TrueANALYZER add-on module. Gnificant feature added to TrueSTUDIO v4.1 includes the ability to record and display instruction trace data.
