Terminology
A compliance pack in DTP refers to the collection of assets that are installed in DTP Enterprise Pack Parasoft's security compliance solution includes the assets installed and deployed to DTP. A compliance pack in Parasoft tools, however, is a DTP using DTP Enterprise Pack, as well as the collection of test configurations executed in Parasoft tools that check code against specific standards. The term Security Compliance Pack refers to the complete security compliance solution, but in some contexts we mean the set of test configurations in the tool UI or the collection of DTP assets.
Compatibility
DTP compliance packs are optimized for use with specific versions of DTP and code analysis tools. Newer versions include updated test configurations, widgets, reports, and other enhancements. We strongly recommend upgrading your code analysis tool, DTP, and the compliance pack to the latest version to ensure full compatibility.
