If your organization is using Parasoft Development Testing PlatformDTP, we strongly recommend that you adopt the following workflow to simplify configuration and updating of preference settings across your team:

...

  1. Open the Parasoft GUI and configure the following settings:
  2. In the top-level Parasoft Preferences page, click the Share link, specify which settings you want to export, and specify where you want to store the localsettings file that contains the exported preferences.



  3. Add the exported settings to Parasoft DTP (edit the project, then paste the settings from the exported localsettings file into the Parasoft Test Settings tab). 

...

  1. Open the Parasoft Preferences panel (Parasoft> Preferences).
  2. Open the Development Testing Platform  DTP page.
  3. Configure your DTP server connection now (see see Connecting to Development Testing Platform for DTP for details).
  4. Update machine-specific settings (for example, settings that involve local paths) as desired—see Preference Configuration Basics for details.
    • If needed, you can change/override imported settings on the related Preferences panel pages (e.g., to override license settings, go to the License page). Just clear the Use DTP settings option on the appropriate page, then manually configure the settings.
    • If you do override imported settings and later want to restore them, click the Restore DTP Defaults button on the related preference page (to restore specific settings). Or, to reconfigure settings for the selected project and restore all defaults, click the Restore Defaults button the Development Testing Platform DTP page.

titleRefreshing Parasoft Test C/C++test Settings Specified on DTP

If you are storing C++test settings on DTP, those settings are refreshed each time that C++test is started.

If you want to manually refresh these settings (e.g., if you know that settings changed and you want to retrieve the new settings immediately, without restarting C++test):

  1. Choose Parasoft> Preferences.
  2. Open Parasoft> Development Testing PlatformDTP.
  3. Click the Configure button to the right of the Project field. This will synchronize the selected project’s settings with those on the DTP server.
