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

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:

1. Extract the C/C++test distribution file (tar.gz) to a folder. A cpptest subfolder will be created.
2. Review and modify the content of cpptest/integration/docker/Dockerfile to specify the tools you want to include in the container image.
3. 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:

   Add the license settings and other configuration settings to the cpptest/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.

4. Run the following command in the cpptest directory to build the image:

   docker build -t cpptest:latest -f 'integration/docker/Dockerfile' .

   The image will include runnable C/C++test and other tools you specified in the Dockerfile.

5. 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
