Release Notes - OpenTAP 9.33.0

Highlights

Parameterization of Outputs

Outputs can now be parameterized. This is useful when the result of a sub-sequence of steps amounts to a few important values that you want to carry on through the test plan execution.

Safer Test Plan Saving

Instead of writing directly to the test plan file, a temporary file is created first. Once the plan is fully saved without error, Delete and Move are used to replace the original. This ensures file integrity in the event of a connection loss (e.g. on a shared drive) or power loss.

Minor Features

• OPENTAP_LIBVISA_LOCATION can now be used to specify a custom libvisa shared library location.
• tap sdk gitversion now works on Alpine Linux (musl libc).

Bug Fixes

• Test plan stuck on parameter resolution error: https://github.com/opentap/opentap/issues/2307
• Test plan / step run parameters now support full groups.
• Memory leak when creating many dynamic test step types fixed: https://github.com/opentap/opentap/issues/2318
• SDK: Read-only list example had a stack overflow error due to the added Equals override.
