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 executionpreconfigure SOAtest during Linux and MacOS installations.

  1. Create a settings file that includes the options you want to preconfigure the installation with. See Settings for details on available options.
  2. Pass that settings file to the installer using the /configure or--configure parameter.
    For example:

    Windows: /configure=<path

    -

    to

    -

    settings-file>Unix: --configure <path-to-settings-file>

    configure <PATH_TO_SETTINGS_FILE>

The settings file will be copied into the root directory of Parasoft Test as SOAtest directory as parasofttest.ini. Settings from that file are used to initialize a clean workspace during startup.

Tip
titleTip - Other Ways to Configure Licenses

You can also configure licensing upon command line startup using -settings. For details, see Licensing.

If you want to apply settings to an existing workspace, you need to add an additional property to the settings file: enforce.configure=true. This overrides existing settings during the first startup after the installation/reinstallation.
