You can preconfigure the Parasoft Test component during installation. Parasoft Test is a framework shipped with Parasoft products that enables many common functionalities, such as code analysis and test execution.
- Create a localsettings file that includes the options you want to preconfigure the installation with. See Localsettings for details on available options.
Pass that localsettings file to the installer using the
/configureor--configureparameter.
For example:Windows:
/configure=<path-to-localsettings-file>Unix:
--configure <path-to-localsettings-file>
The localsettings file will be copied into the root directory of Parasoft Test as parasofttest.ini. Settings from that file are used to initialize a clean workspace during startup.
Tip - Other Ways to Configure Licenses
You can also configure licensing upon command line startup using -localsettings. For details, see Licensing.
If you want to apply settings to an existing workspace, you need to add an additional property to the localsettings file: enforce.configure=true. This overrides existing settings during the first startup after the installation/reinstallation.
