The Common tab settings define common options that affect multiple analysis types. In this section:

Basic Settings

Enable Override Session Tag and specify a session tag to override the session tag specified in Preferences > Parasoft > Reports. Session tags are unique identifiers for test results from test runs performed using the current Test Configuration.

Before Testing Settings

• Refresh projects: Determines whether projects are refreshed before they are tested. When a project is refreshed, SOAtest checks whether external tools have changed the project in the local file system, and then applies any detected changes. Note that when you test from the command line, projects are always refreshed before testing.
• Update projects from source control: Determines whether projects are updated from source control (if you are using a supported source control system) before they are tested.
• Build: Determines if and when projects are built before they are tested. Note that this setting applies to GUI tests, not command-line tests. Available options include:
  • Full (rebuild all files): Specifies that all project files should always be rebuilt.
  • Incremental (build files changed since last build): Specifies that only the project files that have changed since the previous build should be rebuilt.
  • Stop testing on build errors: Specifies that testing should stop when build errors are reported.
