In this section:

Overview

Test configurations define how your code is analyzed and tested, including which static analysis rules are enabled, which tests to run, and other analysis parameters. Jtest ships with built-in test configurations, but users can create and store their own test configurations in the DTP server (see the DTP documentation for details).

User-defined test configurations that are stored in DTP can be downloaded from the DTP server and stored in the [INSTALL_DIR]/configs/user directory as *.properties files. 

Running a Test Configuration

You can specify which configuration will be run in one of the following ways:

  • Run jtestcli with the -config switch and specify a built-in, user-defined or  DTP-hosted  test configuration:

    -config "builtin://Recommended Rules"
-config "user://Foo Configuration"
-config "dtp://Foo Team Configuration" 
-config "dtp://FooTeamConfig.properties"

    (info)Alternatively, you can add the prefix of the Parasoft tool you are using to specify a DTP-hosted test configuration:

    -config "jtest.dtp://Foo Team Configuration"

    You can also provide a path or URL to the test configuration .properties file:

    -config "C:\Devel\Configs\FooConfig.properties"
-config "http://foo.bar.com/configs/FoodConfig.properties"


    For example, your command line may resemble the following:

    jtestcli -config "user://Configuration Name"

  • In the .properties file, specify the default configuration that will be run when the -config option is not used:

    jtest.config=user://Configuration Name

Ant and Maven Pattern

If you use Ant or Maven, you can specify the test configuration with the following pattern:

<config>user://Configuration Name</config>

Settings Property Pattern

jtest.config=user://Configuration Name

Viewing Available Test Configurations

Use the -listconfigs switch to print the available test configurations. 

Use arguments to filter configurations; the use of "*" expressions is supported

  • -listconfigs - prints all available configurations

  • -listconfigs builtin - prints all built-in configurations

  • -listconfigs builtin*Secure* - prints all built-in configurations that contain "secure" in the name

Built-in Test Configurations

The following table includes the test configurations shipped in the [INSTALL]/configs/builtin directory.

Static Analysis

This group includes universal static analysis test configurations. See Security Compliance Pack for test configurations that enforce security coding standards.

Built-in Test ConfigurationDescription
Code SmellsRules based on the Code Smells document (available at http://xp.c2.com/CodeSmell.html) by Kent Beck and Martin Fowler.
Critical Rules

Includes most Severity 1 rules, as well as rules in the Flow Analysis Fast configuration.

Demo ConfigurationIncludes rules for demonstrating various techniques of code analysis. May not be suitable for large code bases.
Find Duplicated CodeApplies static code analysis rules that report duplicate code. Duplicate code may indicate poor application design and lead to maintainability issues.
Find Memory ProblemsIncludes rules for finding memory management issues in the code.
Find Unused CodeIncludes rules for identifying unused/dead code.
Flow Analysis StandardDetects complex runtime errors without requiring test cases or application execution. Defects detected include using uninitialized or invalid memory, null pointer dereferencing, array and buffer overflows, division by zero, memory and resource leaks, and dead code. This requires a special Flow Analysis license option.
Flow Analysis AggressiveIncludes rules for deep flow analysis of code. Significant amount of time may be required to run this configuration.
Flow Analysis FastIncludes rules for shallow depth of flow analysis, which limits the number of potentially acceptable defects from being reported.
Internationalize CodeApplies static code analysis to expose code that is likely to impede internationalization efforts.
MetricsComputes values for  several code metrics. 
Recommended Rules

The default configuration of recommended rules. Covers most Severity 1 and Severity 2 rules. Includes rules in the Flow Analysis Fast configuration.

Thread Safe ProgrammingRules that uncover code which will be dangerous to run in multi-threaded environments— as well as help prevent common threading problems such as deadlocks, race conditions, a missed notification, infinite loops, and data corruption.
TDD Best PracticesThe TDD (Test Driven Development)  Best Practices configuration includes rules based on the Code Smells document (available at http://xp.c2.com/CodeSmell.html), rules that check whether the JUnit test classes are comprehensive for the tested class, and rules from the Critical Rules test configuration.
JUnit 4 Best PracticesIncludes rules that help you improve the quality of your JUnit 4 unit tests.
JUnit 5 Best PracticesIncludes rules that help you improve the quality of your JUnit 5 unit tests.

Security Compliance Pack

This compliance pack includes test configurations that help you enforce security coding standards and practices. See Compliance Packs Rule Mapping for information how the standards are mapped to Jtest's rules.

(info) Security Compliance Pack requires dedicated license features to be activated. Contact Parasoft Support for more details on licensing.

Displaying compliance results on DTP

Some test configurations in this category have a corresponding "Compliance" extension on DTP, which allows you to view your security compliance status, generate compliance reports, and monitor the progress towards your security compliance goals. See the "Extensions for DTP" section in the DTP documentation for the list of available extensions, requirements, and usage.

Built-in Test ConfigurationDescription
CWE 3.4

Includes rules that find issues identified in the CWE standard v3.4.

(info) This test configuration is part of Parasoft Compliance Pack solution that allows you to monitor compliance with industry standards using the "Compliance" extensions on DTP.

CWE Top 25 2019

Includes rules that find issues classified as Top 25 Most Dangerous Programming Errors of the CWE standard.

(info) This test configuration is part of Parasoft Compliance Pack solution that allows you to monitor compliance with industry standards using the "Compliance" extensions on DTP.

CWE Top 25 + On the Cusp 2019

Includes rules that find issues classified as Top 25 Most Dangerous Programming Errors of the CWE standard or included on the CWE Weaknesses On the Cusp list.

(info) This test configuration is part of Parasoft Compliance Pack solution that allows you to monitor compliance with industry standards using the "Compliance" extensions on DTP.

OWASP Top 10 - 2017

Includes rules that find issues identified in OWASP’s Top 10 standard.

(info) This test configuration is part of Parasoft Compliance Pack solution that allows you to monitor compliance with industry standards using the "Compliance" extensions on DTP.

PCI DSS 3.2Includes rules that find issues identified in PCI Data Security Standard  version 3.2.
CERT for JavaIncludes rules that find issues identified in the CERT standard.
UL 2900 Includes rules that find issues identified in the UL-2900 standard.

Unit Testing and Collecting Coverage

This group includes test configurations that allow you to run and collect coverage data for unit tests.

Built-in Test ConfigurationDescription
Calculate Application CoverageProcesses the application coverage data to generate a coverage.xml file. See Application Coverage.
Unit TestsIncludes the unit test execution data in the generated report file

Creating Custom Rules

Use RuleWizard to create custom rules. See the RuleWizard User Guide for information about RuleWizard capabilities and usage.

To use the rule, it needs to be enabled in a test configuration and the custom rule file must be located in one of the following directories:

  • [INSTALL_DIR]\rules\user\
  • [DOCUMENTS DIR]\Parasoft\[tool_name]\rules where [DOCUMENTS DIR] refers to the "My Documents" directory on Windows.

  • No labels
