Prerequisites

• ARM DS-5 (see IDE Support for supported versions)

Windows Installation

Installing

To install the C/C++test Eclipse plugin into DS-5 on Windows:

1. Run the C/C++test plugin installation executable.
2. Click Yes when prompted to to install C/C++test.
3. Choose the ARM DS-5 IDE as the plugin base IDE, then click Next.
4. Enter your DS-5 installation directory, then click OK. The typical installation location is c:\\Program Files\\ARM.
5. Enter the desired destination directory for the C/C++test extension files, then click Next.
6. Close DS-5 if it is open. C/C++test will then start copying files and installing the necessary files into the workbench. When the installation is complete, a notification dialog box will open.

During the installation process, C++test will try to create a link file in ARM’s embedded Eclipse. This file will contain the path to the C/C++test installation directory.

Startup

After the plugin is successfully installed, you can start DS-5 (with the C/C++test plugin installed) by launching it in the usual manner.

A C/C++test perspective will be available (see The C++test Perspective).

Licensing

For licensing: 

1. Choose Parasoft> Preferences.
2. Expand Parasoft> License in the left pane.
3. For machine-locked licenses:
   1. Contact Parasoft with your Machine ID.
   2. Enter your license expiration code and password in the Local License section of the License preferences page.
4. For LicenseServer licenses:
   1. Select the Use LicenseServer option. The LicenseServer section of the License preferences page will become active.
   2. If the appropriate LicenseServer is not already set, select it from the Autodetected servers list and click Set. Or, manually enter your organization’s LicenseServer host (either a name or an IP address) in the Host name field, then enter your organization’s LicenseServer port in the Port number field.
   3. Indicate the license type that you want to use by selecting the appropriate option in the Edition box.

Uninstalling

To uninstall the the C++test DS-5 plugin:

• Use the Control Panel’s Add or Remove Program functionality—or run the Windows C++test installation executable and select the Remove option.

Do not uninstall the C++test plugin by removing the file com.parasoft.xtest.cpptest.link. If you do this, you will still need to manually remove the C++test installation, and the Windows registry’s Install Shield information will remain.
