WindowsProtocolTestSuites 4.20.9.0

Welcome to the Windows Protocol Test Suites v4.20.9.0 release!

Test Suites Prerequisites

The prerequisite software that is needed to run Windows Protocol Test Suites now includes .NET Core 3.1 for support of non-Windows operating systems. See Prerequisites on GitHub for more information.

Updates in this Release

The major change for this release is that the FileServer and SMBD Test Suites are both migrated to .NET Core.

FileServer Test Suite v4.20.9.0

The following updates have been applied for this version:

• This Test Suite was migrated to .NET Core 3.1 from .NET Framework 4.7.
• Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms are now supported by the File Server Test Suite.
• The dependency on Spec Explorer to run Test Suites is removed.
• The dependency on WiX for building Test Suites is removed.
• The ProtoSDK SSP & SSPI is rewritten in C#.
• A new feature supports chained compression of MS-SMB2 messages.

Known Issues
SWN, FSRVP, and ServerFailover Test Cases are not supported in this release.

SMBD Test Suite v4.20.9.0

The SMBD Test Suite is migrated to .NET Core 3.1.
Note that this SMBD version can run on Windows only.

Protocol Test Manager Command Line Interface (PTMCli)

The following updates have been applied to the Protocol Test Manager Command Line Interface:

• The PTMCli was migrated to .NET Core 3.1 from .NET Framework 4.7.
• PTMCli can now run on Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems.
• Multiple instances of the PTMCli can run at the same time.
• Note that to enable the PTMCli tool to function properly, you will need to generate a PTM Profile from the UI.
• For how to use PTMCli, refer to this guide.

Protocol Test Manager 4.20.9.0

Welcome to the Protocol Test Manager v4.20.9.0 release!
The following updates have been applied to the Protocol Test Manager:

Add support to Test Suites based on .NET Core - the current version of PTM supports both .NET Core and .NET Framework versions of test suites. You can use it to run Windows Protocol Test Suites v4.20.9.0, which is based on .NET Core.

Test Suite Version Selection - from the Select Test Suite page of the PTM Wizard, you can now select different versions of the Test Suite to choose the version you want to run; in order to execute Test Cases either with the .NET Framework 4.7 (Test Suite v3.20.1.0) or with the .NET Core v3.1 (Test Suite v4.20.9.0), respectively. For more information, see the tutorial.

Test Suite directory - to facilitate Test Suite version selection, a new Select feature was added to PTM that enables the Test Suite directory location to be exposed in the PTM UI, for selecting a specific Test Suite version.

Notes

• PTMCli has been removed from the PTM installer. The new version of PTMCli is released here.
• The current version of Protocol Test Manager is based on WPF and .NET Framework, so it is therefore still located on the dotnet-fx branch in GitHub for now.
• Earlier versions of Protocol Test Manager are still supported in previously released Test Suites that are based on the .NET Framework, although Test Suites based on the .NET Framework will no longer be developed and released after version 3.20.1.0.
