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.  

  1. Choose Report Center Settings from the settings menu.
  2. Click Projects in the Administration tab and click on a project. 
  3. 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 file.encoding.name property. For example:

file.encoding.name=UTF-16

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.

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
