Overview

STF is an advanced test harness for testing Symbian and S60 non-UI components. It is a toolkit designed for test case implementation and test cases execution.

STF provides a framework for implementing test cases in separate test classes, meaning that:

STF is not an automatic test case creator, but it does enable you to concentrate on the actual test case implementation.

The benefit of STF is to: “write once, test everywhere”. This means, for example, that test cases made during the development phase can be used in system testing, automatic release testing, and so on.

The ITE Carbide plug-in lets you easily create STF test classes and test cases, as well as configure some of STF's options.

ATS TestDrop

STF also contains TestDrop functionality that lets you create test packages of STF projects and send them to the Automatic Test System (ATS) for execution. For more information, see Automatic Test System (ATS).
