10 <h2>Overview</h2> |
|
11 <p>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.</p> |
|
12 <p>STF provides a framework for implementing test cases in separate test classes, meaning that:</p> |
|
13 <ul> |
|
14 <li>test cases are implemented to separate test classes. </li> |
|
15 <li>test class implement a common test class API.</li> |
|
16 <li>test classes run independently in their own threads. </li> |
|
17 </ul> |
|
18 <p>STF is not an automatic test case creator, but it does enable you to concentrate on the actual test case implementation.</p> |
|
19 <p>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.</p> |
|
20 <p>The ITE Carbide plug-in lets you easily create STF test classes and test cases, as well as configure some of STF's options.</p> |

22 <h3>ATS TestDrop</h3> |
|
23 <p>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 <a href="../concepts/ats.htm">Automatic Test System (ATS)</a>.</p> |
