About the .NET Framework Prerequisite

.NET Framework 3.0 and older are not sufficient for dotTEST DTP Engine. Version 4.7 of .NET Framework is bundled with dotTEST DTP Engine and installed automatically. To install the framework manually, run the following command:

[INSTALL_DIR]\bin\prerequisites\dotNetFramework47.exe

You can download and install other supported versions from Microsoft. The following table describes .NET Framework version support:

Framework Version	Static Analysis	Metrics	Unit Testing
4.6.2-4.7	Supported	Supported	Supported
3.5-4.6.1	Partially supported*	Not supported	Supported

*Some rules may not execute (contact Parasoft Support for details)
