You can preconfigure SOAtest and Virtualize during Linux and MacOS installations.

  1. Create a settings file that includes the options you want to preconfigure the installation with. See Settings for details on available options.

  2. Pass that settings file to the installer using the --configure parameter.
    For example:
    --configure <PATH_TO_SETTINGS_FILE>

The settings file will be copied into the SOAtest and Virtualize directory as parasofttest.ini. Settings from that file are used to initialize a clean workspace during startup.

You can also configure licensing upon command line startup using -settings. For details, see Licensing.

If you want to apply settings to an existing workspace, you need to add an additional property to the settings file: enforce.configure=true. This overrides existing settings during the first startup after the installation/reinstallation.
