A directory under parasoft/soatest/<VERSION>  (Linux) or or parasoft/soatest/<VERSION>/ParasoftSOAtestParasoft SOAtest.app/Contents/ParasoftSOAtestEclipse (Mac) will be created.

Info
titleAccessing Application Contents on MacOS

After installation is completed, an application icon will be added in Finder. This is the icon that you double-click to launch SOAtest. If you want to view the various files and folders available within the installation, right-click the icon, and choose Show Package Contents. 

Info
titleHTML content in Ubuntu Linux

When using latest Ubuntu Linux (21.10 or newer), with Snap-based Firefox browser as default, the Eclipse IDE may be unable to show HTML content correctly (see also: https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/issues/221). There are two workarounds:

  • Install a non-Snap version of Firefox (or other browser) and set it as a default system browser.
  • Configure Eclipse to use "external web browser" in Preferences > General > Web Browser > External web browsers.

Note: In order to configure Firefox as an external web browser, use the following settings:
Location: /usr/bin/env
Parameters: firefox %URL%
