0.55
Released January 12., 2010Welcome to the last SeqZap release in the 0.xx series, the next release will be called 1.0 and we are very excited!
Over the more than three months since the last release, SeqZap has had many bugfixes and small improvements and we highly recommend upgrading to 0.55.
Data Table
To make it easier to get your test data into SeqZap we have added a new file element called data table, this makes it possible to define or import tabular data such as CSV or spreadsheet data.
These data are available as array-like objects in your scripts allowing you to iterate over the values and use them in your calls to your tools.
This is the first step where we bring your test data into SeqZap, rather than having it scattered around your hard drive.
Just like SeqZap being a test oriented scripting system our data table will be a test oriented spreadsheet. We do not wish to imitate Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice.org's Calc, rather we implement only features that makes sense in a test data context.
SOAP tool
In our ever growing toolbox that ships with SeqZap we have now added support for SOAP services.
This can be used to test the "other end" of a web service that your target needs to integrate with.
Analog IO
To complement our support for digital IO we have now added support for analog IO.
This allows you to both get/set values in raw output values, or you can implement a plugin to convert the sampled values to/from your specific domain values like temperature, pressure, etc.
Data Sniffer panel updates
The Data Sniffer panel on the stream tools have been improved considerably, it is now able to handle streams which send a lot of data continuously without being overwhelmed.
The time-stamping has also been improved such that they always correspond to the timestamps in the execution log. This makes it much easier to debug communication errors.
DataSniffer now also has a button for pausing the stream of data, the data sent/received is still queued but the scrolling display is paused.
