...

  • Use the cpptestcli utility, with appropriate options, to launch analysis in the command-line mode. A complete list of options is provided in cli Options. Key options are:
    • -config: Specifies Test Configuration.
    • -resource: Specifies the resource (e.g., project, folder, file) to be tested.
    • -publish: Publishes test results to DTP.
    • -publishteamserver: Publishes test results to Team Server.
    • -report: Generates a report.
    • -localsettings: Passes advanced settings for Team Server/Parasoft Report CenterDTP/mail reporting. Options are described in Local Settings (Options) Files.

...

  • -config %CONFIG_URL% - Specifies that you want to run the Test Configuration available at %CONFIG_URL%.
         This parameter is required except when importing projects. %CONFIG_URL% is interpreted as a URL, the name of a Test Configuration, or the path to a local file. Examples:
    • By filename:
      -config "mylocalconfig.properties"
    • By URL:
      -config "http://intranet.acme.com/cpptest/team_config.properties"
    • Built-in configurations:
      -config "builtin://Demo Configuration"
      -config "Demo Configuration"
    • User-defined configurations:
      -config "user://My First Configuration"
    • Team configurations:
      -config "team://Team Configuration"
      -config "team://teamconfig.properties"
  • -help - Displays help information. Does not run testing.
    Anchor
    localsettings %LOCALSETTINGS_FILE%
    localsettings %LOCALSETTINGS_FILE%
  • -localsettings %LOCALSETTINGS_FILE% - Reads the options file %LOCALSETTINGS_FILE% for global preferences. These settings specify details such as Parasoft Report Center DTP settings, email settings, and Team Server settings.
    The options file is a properties file. These files can control reporting preferences (who should reports be sent to, how should those reports be labelled, what mail server and domain should be used, etc.) Team Server settings, Parasoft Report Center DTP settings, email settings, and more. For details on creating options files; see Local Settings (Options) Files.
  • -nobuild - Prevents C++test from rebuilding the project before testing it. Use this option if the project is already built before the test run.
  • -fail - Fails the build by returning a non-zero exit code if any violations are reported.
  • -publish - Publishes the report to DTP. You can enable sending reports to DTP in the GUI or in the command line mode; see Connecting to Development Testing Platform.
  • -publishteamserver - Publishes the report to the Team Server. The Team Server location can be specified in the GUI or in the options file (described in the -localsettings %LOCALSETTINGS_FILE% entry).
  • -report %REPORT_FILE% - Generates an XML report to the given file %REPORT_FILE% and adds an HTML (or PDF or custom format—if specified using the report.format option) report with the same name (and a different extension) in the same directory.
    All of the following commands will produce an HTML report filename.html and an XML report filename.xml.
    • -report filename.xml
    • -report filename.htm
    • -report filename.html

    If the specified path ends with an ".html"/".htm"/".xml" extension, it will be treated as a path to the report file to generate. Otherwise, it will be treated as a path to a directory where reports should be generated.
    If the file name is explicitly specified in the command and a file with this name already exists in the specified location, the previous report will be overwritten. If your command doesn’t explicitly specify a file name, the existing report file will not be overwritten—the new file will be named repXXXX.html, where XXXX is a random number.
    If the -report option is not specified, reports will be generated with the default names "report.xml/html" in the current directory.

  • -dtp.autoconfig %PROJECT_NAME@SERVER_NAME:port% - Pulls settings stored on the DTP server (recommended for ease of maintenance — especially if you do not already have a locallocally stored settings file). 
    For example:
    -dtp.autoconfig [email protected]:8080

  • -encodepass <plainpassword> - Generates an encoded version of a given password. Prints the message 'Encrypted password: <encpass>' and terminates the cli application.
    If your nightly process will 1) login to Team Server and b) send emails, you can use this option to encrypt the required passwords.

  • -showdetails - Prints detailed test progress information.

The default setting is false.

report.mail.cc=[email_addresses]

Specifies where to mail comprehensive manager reports. This setting must be followed by a semicolon-separated list of email addresses. This setting is typically used to send reports to managers or architects. It can also be used to send comprehensive reports to developers if developer reports are not sent automatically (for example, because the team is not using a supported source control system).

report.mail.compact=trends|links

Specifies that you want to email a compact report or link rather than a complete report.

If trends is used, the email contains a trend graphs, summary tables, and other compact data; detailed data is not included.

report.mail.domain=[domain]

Specifies the mail domain used to send reports.

report.mail.enabled=true|false

report.mail.exclude.developers=true|false

Specifies whether reports should be mailed to any developer whose email is not explicitly listed in the report.mail.cc property. This setting is used to prevent reports from being mailed to individual developers.

Specifies the "from" line of the emails sent.

report.mail.include=[email_addresses]

Specifies the email addresses of developers that you want to receive developer reports. This setting must be followed by a semicolon-separated list of email addresses. This setting is typically used to send developer reports to developers if developer reports are not sent automatically (for example, because the team is not using a supported source control system). It overrides developers specified in the 'exclude' list.

report.mail.on.error.only=true|false

Determines whether reports are sent to the manager only if an error is found or a fatal exception occurs. Developer emails are not affected by this setting; developer emails are sent only to developers who are responsible for reported errors.

The default setting is false.

report.mail.server=[server]

Specifies the mail server used to send reports.

report.mail.subject=My New Subject

Specifies the subject line of the emails sent. The default subject line is "C++test Report." For example, if you want to change the subject line to "C++test Report for Project A", you would use
report.mail.subject=C++test Report for Project A

report.mail.time_delay=[server]

Specifies a time delay between emailing reports (to avoid bulk email restrictions).

report.mail.unknown=[email_address OR

report.suppressed_msgs=true|false

Determines whether reports include suppressed messages.
The default setting is false.

session.tag=[name]

Specifies a session tag used to label these results. This value is used for uploading summary results to Team Server.

The tag is an identifier of the module checked during the analysis process. Reports for different modules should be marked with different tags.

report.ue_coverage_details_htmls=[coverage_type]

Determines whether a test's HTML report links to another report that includes source code annotated with line-by-line coverage details.

The following values can be used for [coverage_type]:
FC - for function coverage

LC - for line coverage

SC - for statement coverage

BCC - for block coverage

DC - for decision coverage

SCC - for simple condition coverage

MCDC - for MC/DC coverage
