About Test Settings
You can configure project-specific settings for test and code analysis tools, such as Parasoft DTP Engines, SOAtest, and C++test Desktop. When tools are connected to DTP, they import and use these settings, which enables you to centrally configure DTP Engine execution properties. The settings specified in the tool's .properties file, however, take precedence over the settings configure in this section. See the specific tool documentation for details on available settings.
- Choose Report Center Settings from the settings menu.
- Click Projects in the Administration tab and click on a project.
- Enter your settings in the Parasoft Test Settings section. Enter each setting on a new line. Use the
#character to add comments.
You can also click the information icon in the label for additional information and to view example settings.
You can also configure the settings for all projects. See Configuring Parasoft Test for All Projects.
Example Settings
#License Settings license.network.host=dtp.company.com license.network.port=2222 license.use_network=true #Mail Settings report.mail.domain=company.com report.mail.from=john.doe report.mail.password=123456789 report.mail.server=mail.company.com report.mail.username=john
About File Encoding
By default, DTP assumes that source code is encoded in UTF-8. If the source code is encoded with a different character set, you can specify it in the Parasoft Test Settings form by adding the You can configure this setting for individual projects or for all projects if all source code is encoded in the same way. See Configuring Parasoft Test for All Projects for additional information.file.encoding.name property. For example:file.encoding.name=UTF-16
Auto-configuring DTP Engines
You can automatically configure DTP Engines that have the dtp.autoconfig property set to true. This enables you to configure many settings that can be reused by both DTP and DTP Engines. See the DTP Engines documentation for details.
For example, the following settings would be added to the DTP Engine configuration file:
dtp.autoconfig=true scontrol.svn.exec=C\:\\Program Files\\svn\\bin\\svn.exe
This would enable the engine to use the following example configurations set in the Parasoft Test Global Settings field:
scontrol.svn.exec=/usr/bin/svn scontrol.rep1.type=svn scontrol.rep1.svn.url=http\://foo.bar.com/svn/repos scontrol.rep1.svn.login=foo scontrol.rep1.svn.password=65707c
Auto-configuration can still be used by adding the server. prefix to identify the setting as a DTP Server-only setting. In the following Parasoft Test Settings, the SVN executable directory is specified for the Parasoft tool with the scontrol.svn.exec setting, but for DTP the directory is set with server.scontrol.svn.exec:
scontrol.svn.exec=C\:\\Program Files\\svn\\bin\\svn.exe server.scontrol.svn.exec=/usr/bin/svn scontrol.rep1.type=svn scontrol.rep1.svn.url=http\://foo.bar.com/svn/repos scontrol.rep1.svn.login=foo scontrol.rep1.svn.password=65707c server.scontrol.rep1.svn.login=bar server.scontrol.rep1.svn.password=19787a
DTP prioritizes the server. prefix value if the same non-prefixed also appears.
The following precedence of overwriting settings is used in DTP when the same setting appears in Parasoft Test Global Settings and project-specific Parasoft Test settings:
- Project specific Parasoft Test Settings with
server.prefix - Project specific Parasoft Test Settings without
server.prefix - Parasoft Test Global Settings with
server.prefix - Parasoft Test Global Settings without
server.prefix
