Configuring the Settings

C/C++test  DTP DTP Engine can be configured with settings (see Configuration Settings) that should be specified in a .properties file. The basic settings are listed in the cpptestcli.properties .properties file  file shipped in [INSTALL_DIR]. 

You can also create a custom .properties file and pass it to the cpptestcli with the -settings switch.  You can use the -settings switch multiple times to specify several .properties files. Entries with the same key will be overwritten.

...

1. [INSTALL_DIR]/etc/cpptestcli.properties: the base configuration file that should not be modified.
2. [INSTALL_DIR]/cpptestcli.properties: the main configuration file you can use to specify your settings that map contains templates for commonly used settings (license, reporting etc.).
3. [USER_HOME]/cpptestcli.properties: for your convenience, you can store the configuration file in your home directory to overwrite settings from the [INSTALL_DIR] (for example, to ensure your settings are not affected by reinstallations or updates).
4. [WORKING_DIR]/cpptestcli.properties: for your convenience, you can store the configuration file in your working directory.

5. Custom settings passed with the command line switch -settings path/to/settings.properties (e.g., -settings ../settings.properties)

6. 6. Custom settings passed with the command line switch -property [key=value]
