parallel.mode
This determines which parallel processing mode is used. You may want to configure this setting to optimize testing and analysis execution according to your build schedule in CI environments.
Acceptable Values

|---|---|
| auto | Default. Allows the tool to control parallel processing settings. |
| manual | Allows you to manually configure parallel processing settings to suit your specific needs. |
Example Usage
The following configuration disables parallel processing.
parallel.mode=disabled

parallel.no_memory_limit
This setting enables/disables additional limits on the memory consumed by parallel processing.
Acceptable Values
| true | There will be no additional limits on the memory consumed by parallel processing. |
|---|---|
| false | Default. Memory consumption associated with parallel processing will be limited. |
Example Usage
The following configuration allows for unlimited memory consumption by parallel processes (within system limits).
parallel.no_memory_limit=true

parallel.free_memory_limit
This setting specifies the amount of memory that should be kept free in low memory conditions to ensure that free memory is available for other processes.
Acceptable Values
| [percentage] | The percentage of the total memory available for the application. The default is |
|---|
Example Usage
The following configuration ensures that 30% of the total memory of the application will be available for other processes.
parallel.free_memory_limit=30
parallel.max_threads
This setting specifies the maximum number of parallel threads that can be executed simultaneously. The actual number of parallel threads is determined by the number of CPUs, available memory, and license settings.
Acceptable Values
| [number] | The maximum number of simultaneously executed parallel threads. The default value is equal to the number of CPUs. |
|---|
Example Usage
The following configuration allows you to simultaneously execute two parallel threads:
parallel.max_threads=2
file.encoding.mode
This setting specifies how file encoding is determined.
Acceptable Values
| default | Enables use of system properties. |
|---|---|
| auto | Enables automatic detection of encoding for the Far-East languages specified with the file.encoding.lang property. |
| user | Enables use of specified encoding by the file.encoding.name property. |
Example Usage
The following configuration enables file encoding based on the system settings:
file.encoding.mode=default
file.encoding.lang
This setting allows you to specify the language that will be automatically detected for file encoding. It requires the file.encoding.mode property to be set to auto.
Acceptable Values
| 1 | Japanese |
|---|---|
| 2 | Chinese |
| 3 | Simplified Chinese |
| 4 | Traditional Chinese |
| 5 | Korean |
Example Usage
The following configuration enables Japanese encoding:

file.encoding.name
This setting allows you to configure file encoding other than specified in the system settings. It requires the file.encoding.mode property to be set to user.
Acceptable Values
| [encoding name] | The name of the encoding, for example ASCII-US, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE. |
|---|
Example Usage
The following configuration enables encoding in UTF-16.
file.encoding.mode=userfile.encoding.name=UTF-16
settings.validation
This setting enables/disables settings validation.
Acceptable Values
| true | Detault. Errors in the settings format will be reported. |
|---|---|
| false | Errors in the settings format will not be reported. |
Example Usage
The following configuration disables reporting errors in the settings format:
settings.validation=false
settings.rules.file.dottest
This setting specifies the path to a file that contains additional rules for settings validation. The file should follow the.properties format and list the settings with their valid values (see Example Usage for details about the pattern).Acceptable Values
| [path] | The path to file that contains additional rules for settings validation. |
|---|
Example Usage
The following configuration points to the settings in the new_setting_rules.properties file:
settings.rules.file.dottest=C:\\parasoft\\jtest\\new_setting_rules.properties
The settings included in the file may resemble the following:
engine.path=$ANYengine.enabled=$BOOLEANengine.analysis.deep=$INTEGERengine.severity.limit=$REGEXP{[1-5]}engine.verbosity.level=$REGEXP_IC{(low)|(normal)|(high)}
