² C/C++test  may allocate up to 1GB RAM on 32-bit machines or up to 2GB RAM on 64-bit machines for the Java Virtual Machine process. You can change memory allocation for the JVM process in the [INSTALL_DIR]/etc/cpptestcli.jvm configuration file (-Xmx option). When running an analysis, C/C++test’s native code analyzers will require additional memory, depending on the test configuration parameters.

DTP Integration

If you connect your C/C++test instance to DTP, ensure that the DTP version your connecting to supports your C/C++test version. For example, upgrading C/C++test to version 2020.2 requires upgrading DTP to version 2020.2.
