Quality Assurance for Embedded Systems
A maintenance release is now available for all supported platforms.
Consider updating if you are using Version 6.0-6.5.0 or older.
Reduction on number of files in ./testdata/ (#16542):
(a) per default, collect the tags (only) in LWP – LWP_.tags
this can be disabled in *.rtp/*.conf: TAG_TRACING_SUM; no
(b) optionally, small am *.log files can be compressed to
COMPRESSED_LOGS.tgz (and are only extracted on demand) needs to
be enabled in *.rtp/*.conf: LOG_COMPRESS; yes
Binaries and Utilities:
rttmergelog: (performance) added options --omit-dosbreaks,
--expand-tabs which performs far better than filtering the
output through a set of replacements / pretty printings
rttscan_rts (rtt-compile-test):
duplicate port names within one AM are now treated as an error (#17307);
this has been noted in the compatibility section (App.D) of the manual
rtt_mco: corrected --help output:
the options --diff and --format are also possible
RTS file processing robustness and optimisation:
utilities rtt_aux_replace_pattern_by_string and
rtt_aux_replace_pattern_by_file: do not read whole input at once (avoids crash on very large inputs)
library function rttstr_insert_hashlines()
only inserts the filename once, and also contains an option to never insert the filename (but only the #line numbers)
rts lexer/parser: avoid writing “sourcefile” string to output if it remains unchanged
Channel Configuration:
print WARNING if configuring buffer size = 1 which will only work for sampling ports (added Caveat in Manual), (realises #17364 1,2)
mis-configuration of buffer size = 0 will now yield a WARNING and adjustment to size 2 – (implements #17364 3)
Scripts:
rtt-clean-test (usability)
if directories [stubs]src,testdata,doc are missing, do not complain; only output a note, if --verbose is selected
rtt-create-project: sample -u DEMO_RTT_TURNIND
now has life signal plotting (for test-Turnindicator/signals)
RT-Tester Libraries: reduce compiler (version) dependencies:
use assert() macro without unexpected dependencies (#17240 (2))
avoid unnecessary ctype inclusion (#17240 (2))
check of built libraries for unexpected used symbols (#17240 (3))
ctxlib: added functions rttctx_get_next_handle(),
rttctx_is_handle_used() (implements #17448)
ctxlib: rttctxPutLwpSchedCmd() now wait for completion before
returning (see FR#17376) for the old, non-blocking behaviour, the
new API function rttctxPutLwpSchedCmd_Extended() has been added
new meaningful error codes for unexpected situations have been
introduced (rttctxSchedCmdReply_t)
rttstrlib has now utility function rttstr_line_buffer_has_line()
sanity checks: deactivated spurious nanosleep() warning in RTTstartup.c; instead, supplemented missing nanosleep()-checks in rttctxlib:rtt_lwp_nanosleep() and rttservicelib:rttWaitMilliSec() (addresses #16064)
RT-Tester executable:
rtt-run-test now prints the md5sum of test executable to allow for later comparison / identification
for abort situations (like SIGTERM), ensure that the exit code of rtt-test-proc is != 0 (fixes #16063)
(robustness) fill AM/LWP/CNODE data with zeroes initially
User Manual:
Added (brief) description of the Eclipse user-interface (RTT-Plugin) (addresses #17282)
added file type overview table
usability: use LaTeX command \path{} for strings with underscore
(allows for better text search in the PDF document)
test case tracing (rtt-get-tc-coverage / rtt-doc-test):
setting rttdoc-verdict to PASS is now not marked as ‘changed’ for test cases that are already PASS in the test run analogously, FAIL is only marked as changed if not already FAIL in the run (fixes #17524)
when referencing merely the test procedure in ALL-TC-COV.csv, reference the path to the conf-file (which allows meaningful hyperlinks)
in ALL-TC-COV.csv, reference _AUTO:UNTESTED as _AUTO:NOT TESTED (since UNTESTED is only an internal marker)
in *.rttdoc section TESTCASE VERDICTS, corrected the treatment
of test case tags containing a colon (':') – fixes #17562
RTS lexing (rttprep_rts) – Win-32 only:
@rttSelectX[interval] (fixes
#17305)RTS file parsing (rttrts2tab) revision:
Other script issues:
rtt-msword-doc-testproject (Cygwin only):
corrected handling of tags containing a colon (':') (fixes #17640)
rtt-clean-test: also clean up ./doc/ in order to remove the
symlinks (fixes #17458)
rtt-doc-test / rtt-get-tc-coverage option --tags-file:
if there is a TAG_FILE, then compare to the previous contents (if any); previously, only the timestamp(s)
were compared, which was not good enough – fixes #17672
Test on Target:
