This topic helps you troubleshoot problems you might experience with C++test.

What Do I Do If C++test Runs Out of Memory?

You can

customize the amount of allocated memory with the CPPTEST_ENGINE_EXTRA_ARGS option by specifying the value of the -Xmx setting. This may be particularly useful for when you perform static analysis or report results to DTP. See Configuring Advanced Options for details.

How do I analyze header files/what files are analyzed?  

C++test analyzes C/C++ source files directly and header files indirectly. Based on the current selection, C++test will analyze all C/C++ source files and report violations for all source and header files from the selection (only for header files included by the source files).

For example:

• if the project root is selected, then all source files (and header files indirectly) will be analyzed.
• if a single source file is selected, then only that file will be analyzed (no header files will be analyzed).
• if single source file and a single header file is selected, then the source file (and header file if it's included by the source) will be analyzed.
• if only a header file is selected, then C++test will skip the analysis (header files are not analyzed directly).

How can I create a report with a list of active coding standard rules?

When generating a report, specify a report configuration file that contains the following entry:

results.report.active_rules=true

How can I  modify the verbosity level of the C++test Console?

Choose Parasoft> Preferences, select  Console, then select the desired verbosity level (High, Normal, Low).

How can I import C++test 6.x Test Configurations?

See Migrating test assets from C++test 6.x.

If I’m having problems, what information should I send to the  C++test support team?
