Parasoft Support

Software Risk Manager accepts the XML SATE reports generated by Parasoft tools, which can be generated using both the GUI and CLI.

Generating a Report from the GUI

To generate the report from the GUI:
  1. Run a scan.
  2. Click the Test Progress summary tab and click the Generate Report button in the toolbar.

    The Report and Publish dialog will open.

  3. Click Preferences.
  4. Click the Format dropdown and select XML SATE (Static Analysis Tool Exposition).
  5. Click Apply, then click OK.

    The Report and Publish dialog will open.

  6. Select the option to open the report in a browser.
  7. Click OK.

    The generated report will appear above the Test Progress and summary tab; the location of the file on disk will display in the report tab.

Generating a Report from the Command Line Interface

To generate a report from the CLI and export the findings:
  1. Create a file containing the proper report preferences, one setting per line.
    The file must contain at least these settings:
    • report.custom.extension=xml
    • report.format=sate
  2. Select Parasoft -> Preferences from the toolbar.
  3. Select Parasoft (root).
  4. Click the "share" link in the "Configure settings" section.
  5. Enter the filepath into the text box.

    This will be where your settings file will be located.

  6. Check the "Reports" option, then click OK.
  7. Run the CLI with the following options:
    • -localsettings path/to/settings/file
    • -report path/where/report/should/go/filename.xml

    The report to upload to Software Risk Manager will be at path/where/report/should/go/filename_report.xml or path/where/report/should/go/filename_sate.xml
