The Test Configuration’s Common tab controls test settings for actions that affect multiple analysis types.
The Common tab has the following settings:
- Override Session Tag: Assigns the specified session tag to results from test runs performed using the current Test Configuration. This overrides the session tag specified in Preferences> Parasoft> Reports. The tag is an identifier of the module checked during the analysis process. Reports for different modules should be marked with different tags. The same variables that are valid for C++test Preferences options can be used here.
- Before Testing> Update projects from source control: Determines whether projects are updated from source control (if you using a supported source control system) before they are tested.
- Build: Determines if and when whether projects are built before they are tested. Note that this settings applies to GUI tests, not command-line tests. Available options include:
- Full (rebuild all files): Specifies that all project files should always be rebuilt.
- Stop testing on build errors: Specifies that testing should stop when build errors are reported.
