Release date: April 17, 2020
In this release, we've focused on extending support for environments and enhancing Jtest's unit testing capabilities,.
Support for IDEs
We've added support for the following IDEs:
- Eclipse 2019-12 (4.14)
- Eclipse 2020-03 (4.15)
- IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2
- IntelliJ IDEA 2019.3
IntelliJ 2020.1 is not currently supported.
Support for Source Control Management Systems
We've added support for:
- Git 1.8, 1.9, 2.x
- SVN 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13
- Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2017, 2018, 2019
See Deprecated Support for Environments and Systems for information about deprecated and removed support for source control management systems.
Support for Platforms
We've added support for:
- OS X 10.14 Mojave
- OS X 10.15 Catalina
Enhanced Unit Testing
Unit Test Assistant Enhancements
- UTA can now perform data-flow analysis to give you more robust recommendations on how to cover uncovered code lines.
- You can now exclude packages and classes from monitoring during test execution with UTA. This will help you avoid exceeding the limits for method calls during test execution. See Configuring Preferences for details.
Test Impact Analysis for JUnit 5 Tests
We've extended support for the JUnit 5 framework. You can now perform test impact analysis for JUnit 5 tests executed with Maven or Gradle.
Optimized Performance for JUnit 4 and 5 Test Execution
You can now configure Jtest to optimize performance of test execution. This will dramatically reduce the time required to calculate results and coverage data for JUnit 4 and 5 tests, as well as help you improve the consistency of results between different versions of a build system. See Running Unit Tests for details.
Extended Security Compliance Pack
The Security Pack now supports CWE 4.0. In addition, we've enhanced support for CWE Top 25 2019 and On the Cusp guidelines by adding new rules and updating the existing test configurations. See New and Updated Test Configurations below for details.
New Versioning Convention
All Parasoft products, including Jtest, now follow a new versioning scheme: YYYY.release.
New and Updated Test Configurations
We've added a new test configuration to help you detect weaknesses identified in Common Weaknesses Enumeration (CWE) 4.0:
- CWE 4.0
We've updated the following test configurations to extend support for security standards:
- CWE Top 25 2019
- CWE Top 25 + On the Cusp 2019
- Flow Analysis Aggressive
- Flow Analysis Standard
- OWASP Top 10-2017
- UL 2900
Removed Test Configurations
- CWE 3.4
New and Updated Static Analysis Rules
The following rules have been added:
| Rule ID | Header |
|---|---|
| BD.SECURITY.SENSLOG | Avoid passing sensitive data to functions that write to log files |
| BD.SECURITY.TDALLOC | Validate potentially tainted data before it is used to determine the size of memory allocation |
| SECURITY.WSC.HTTPRHA | Do not rely on IP addresses obtained from HTTP request headers for authentication |
| SECURITY.WSC.JXCORS | Restrict cross-origin resource sharing to secure origins |
The following static analysis rules have been updated to improve analysis results:
BD.EXCEPT.NP
BD.PB.STRNULL
BD.SECURITY.TDRESP
BD.SECURITY.TD*
- CODSTA.ORG.DINT
- FORMAT.CBRACE
- FORMAT.TNL
- GLOBAL.ACD
- GLOBAL.DPAC
- GLOBAL.DPAF
- GLOBAL.DPAM
- GLOBAL.DPPC
- GLOBAL.DPPF
- GLOBAL.DPPM
- GLOBAL.SPAC
- GLOBAL.SPAM
- GLOBAL.SPPC
- GLOBAL.SPPM
- GLOBAL.UPAC
- GLOBAL.UPAF
- GLOBAL.UPAM
- GLOBAL.UPPC
- GLOBAL.UPPF
- GLOBAL.UPPM
- JUNIT.AUL
- PB.CUB.UEIC
- PB.USC.NACC
- SECURITY.IBA.DXXE
- SECURITY.WSC.DMDS
- SECURITY.WSC.MCNC
- SECURITY.WSC.PBFA
- SERIAL.NSFSC
The output messages of the following rules have been updated, and as a result, suppressions associated with these rules on DTP may no longer be available:
- CODSTA.ORG.DINT
- FORMAT.TNL
- GLOBAL.ACD
- PB.USC.NACC
- SECURITY.WSC.MCNC
- SECURITY.WSC.PBFA
Other Enhancements
- We've added support for Gradle 6.0 - 6.3.
- We've improved performance of static analysis. Jtest can now more effectively collect and reuse project-related information to reduce execution times of rules that work on a global scope.
- You can now specify a context path when configuring connection to DTP.
Deprecated Support for Environments and Systems
Support for the following environments and systems is now deprecated and will be removed in future releases.
Windows 7
Support for Windows 7 is deprecated, following the system's EOL.
NetBeans
Support for all versions of NetBeans IDE is deprecated
Source Control Management Systems
Support for the following SCMs is deprecated:
- AccuRev
- ClearCase
- CVS
- Serena Dimensions
- StarTeam
- Synergy CM

In addition, we've removed support for Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010.
