Stb-tester v25 released
03 Jun 2016.
Stb-tester v25 is now available, with features that significantly improve the maintenance cost of your test scripts:
-
A FrameObject base class that makes it easier to use the Frame Object pattern in your test-pack. The Frame Object pattern simplifies testcase development and maintenance; Frame Objects are a layer of abstraction between your testcases and the stbt image processing APIs.
-
Tools to test your Frame Objects very easily without involving a real set-top box.
-
stbt-docker to run these tools on Macs and Windows.
Detailed tutorials will follow next week; for now please see the release notes.
If you use the stb-tester ONE
If your stb-tester ONE has an internet connection, it will automatically download the update and it will prompt you when it is ready to install. Just click the green “Install software update” button.
Then update the .stbt.conf
file in your test-pack git repository: Change
stbt_version
from 24
to 25
. This is a separate step because the update
includes a new version of the stb-tester Python API, to allow better control
over such upgrades. See the release notes for details.
If you don’t use the stb-tester ONE
Fedora and Ubuntu packages are available at the usual locations (see the wiki for installation instructions).
