C/C++test can be deployed in a Docker container to enable seamless integration with modern development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
You can download a ready to use C/C++test container image from Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/parasoft/cpptest. The container image includes C/C++test, C/C++ build tools and common utilities. See the documentation at Docker Hub for deployment and customization instructions.
Building a Custom Docker Container Image Locally
Note
It is recommended to use C/C++test container image from Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/parasoft/cpptest. Follow the steps below if you need to build a custom Docker container image, for example, if you have your own container base image.
Requirements
- Linux 64-bit
- Docker
- C/C++test Standard installation package for Linux 64-bit
Building a Container Image
To build a Docker container image that includes C/C++test:
- Review and modify the content of the
<INSTALL_DIR>/integration/docker/Dockerfileto specify the tools you want to include in the container image. - Optionally, configure C/C++test before the container image is built. This allows you to provide a default C/C++test configuration to all users of the image:
- Create a 'cpptestcli.properties' file in the
<INSTALL_DIR>/integration/dockerdirectory. Add the license settings and other configuration settings to the 'cpptestcli.properties' file.
Note
You must configure a network license to run C/C++test in a Docker container. The local license is not supported. See Setting the License for details.
- Create a 'cpptestcli.properties' file in the
- Copy the C/C++test distribution file (tar.gz) to the
<INSTALL_DIR>/integration/docker/directory. Run the following command in the <
INSTALL_DIR>/integration/dockerdirectory to build the image:docker build -t cpptest:latest .
The image will include runnable C/C++test and other tools you specified in the Dockerfile.
Once you built the Docker container image that includes C/C++test, you can utilize all of C/C++test's capabilities available from the command line interface:
docker run --rm cpptest:latest cpptestcli -help
