SOAtest - Virtualize Co-Installation

When Parasoft SOAtest and Parasoft Virtualize are installed on the same machine, SOAtest and Virtualize must have an identical version number. This ensures compatibility between both products. 

If you are updating an existing installation (including updating from a service pack), be sure to update both products at the same time.

Requirements & Support

IDEEclipse 2022-03 (4.23) or later.
Java

Java 17 or 21 (installed with the application)Oracle and OpenJDK are supported.

IP Address FormatsIPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
Additional When installing from the update site, you need to install the Eclipse Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). You can download and install Eclipse GEF from http://www.eclipse.org/gef/.
Recommended

We also recommend configuring the osgi.bundlefile.limit property to 0 (unlimited) for Windows or 300 for Linux and macOS when starting Eclipse. For example:

Code Block
eclipse.exe -vmargs -Dosgi.bundlefile.limit=0

The osgi.bundlefile.limit property limits the number of JAR files the Eclipse framework will keep open. This property defaults to 100, which may be too low and result in performance issues. Setting the property manually overrides the default setting. If you experience crashes or a "Too many open files" exception after setting the property to the recommended values, try setting the property to a lower limit.

  2. Click Add and enter Parasoft in the Name field.
  3. Click OK and select the features that you want to install when prompted
  4. Click Next and follow the prompts to complete the installation process.
  5. Restart Eclipse when prompted.

Installing Copilot

If you have also installed Copilot in Eclipse, you can use it with SOAtest and Virtualize. Note that Copilot can't be installed in a standalone version of SOAtest and Virtualize; if you want to use SOAtest and Virtualize with Copilot, you need to install a standalone version of Eclipse and install both Copilot and SOAtest and Virtualize into that Eclipse. See this page for more information about installing Copilot in Eclipse.
