  • Apache Tomcat 8.5 or 9.0 must be installed installed and running.
  • Core CTP functionality is backwards compatible with Virtualize and/or SOAtest 9.10.0 or higher, but some tools and features require the latest version of Virtualize/SOAtest SOAtest. 

Installation

  1. If you have not already done so, extract CTP from the download:
    unzip em_<version><VERSION>.zip
  2. Copy em.war to the <tomcat installation><TOMCAT_INSTALLATION>/webapps folder.

In a few moments, you should see an em folder appear under <tomcat installation><TOMCAT_INSTALLATION>/webapps. This is CTP; it has been automatically deployed by Tomcat.

Info
titleUsing a separately-installed, MySQL or Oracle database?

If you are using a separately - installed, MySQL or Oracle database (rather than the embedded HyperSQL database), you must setup the database before proceeding. See Setting up Up the Database (MySQL or Oracle) for details.

...

  1. Open a web browser and point it to http://<hostname><HOSTNAME>:8080/em, where <hostname> <HOSTNAME> is the machine name or IP address where Tomcat/CTP is installed. If you need to reach this page later, just navigate to License Configuration from the CTP settings (gear icon) menu. 

  2. Specify the license configuration when prompted. Choose either a Local or Network license type.

  3. If you are using a local license, copy and paste the license password sent to you by your Parasoft representative into the Password field and click Save. Proceed to the next step if you are using a network license.
  4. Specify the host, port, and login credentials of the License Server or DTP that will serve a license to your instance of CTP.  We We recommend using a the built-in admin account, as opposed to an individual user's personal account, to authenticate against the server.


    If you do not already have an appropriate license available on your Parasoft License Server, email [email protected] with the Machine ID to obtain a license key you can add to your License Server or a password for a machine-locked local license.

  5. Click Save.

...

  1. Choose License Configuration from the CTP settings (gear icon)  menumenu.
  2. Copy your license key (provided by your Parasoft representative) into the Add New License field and click Add License.

...

If you are using the embedded HyperSQL database (rather than a separately - installed MySQL or Oracle database):

  1. Set Type to HyperSQL.
  2. Enter a path where the database files should be saved on the host that runs Apache Tomcat.   Prepend a forward slash ‘/’ to make the path absolute in the file system.  
     
  3. If the database files do not yet exist, click the Create Database button to create a complete HyperSQL database.

...

CTP does not ship with JDBC driver libraries for MySQL or Oracle.   The Database Configuration page will instruct you to copy a JDBC connector jar file to the WEB-INF/lib/ folder on the application server.

For example, with MySQL download mysql-connector-java-<version><VERSION>.jar from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ and copy it to the C:\Program Files\Apache\Tomcat\<version><VERSION>\webapps\em\WEB-INF\lib folder.
