Parasoft (Root-Level)

Sets general preferences and allows you to export settings to a localsettings file.

    • Ignore solution and solution folder names in paths: Enables "reduced paths" mode. In this mode—where Parasoft Test uses only reduced (project relative) paths. Names of solution and solution folders will be skipped in these paths. New paths will be unique because project names are unique inside a solution.
    • User name: Allows you to set a different user name than the one specified in the operating system. The user name is used in several Parasoft interfaces.
    • Share/import: See Exporting GUI Preferences to a localsettings File.
    • Send anonymous usage data to Parasoft: Allows you to enable or disable collecting and sending usage data to Parasoft. Read our privacy statement to learn more at https://www.parasoft.com/privacy-policy.
