Settings Hierarchy

General settings are applied in the following order: 


  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. 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) Conditional Contentproduct: (cpptest, jtest)product: (cpptest, jtest)sv-attr:0A01020401598D973E6641760F8AF4E50A01020401598D973E6749C5267CE6FE 0A01020401598D973E671AAA268425A3.
  6. 6. Custom settings passed with the command line switch -property [key=value]

All of the above settings can be overridden by custom settings that are passed with command line switches (e.g. -report, -config).

Modifying a Single Property

You can quickly modify a single property in a settings configuration file with the -property switch  without creating a dedicated configuration:

Code Block
cpptestcli -property dtp.server=dtp.parasoft.com.pl -config "builtin://Recommended Rules" -compiler gcc_3_4 -input cpptest.bdf

Viewing Current Settings 

Use the -showsettings option to print the current settings and customizations, including the origin file for each configuration.

Advanced Configuration

For advanced configuration of C++test's native code analyzers, a dedicated configuration file (in a format supported by the analyzers) can be specified with -psrc <CONFIG_FILE> switch. Parasoft Support will provide content for the advanced configuration file.
