In some cases it is useful to start SOAtest automatically or as part of a recovery process. Virtualize and CTP are web applications and can be run as a tomcat service. at this time SOAtest needs to be started manually. In this post I will demonstrate how to launch SOAtestas a windows service

- Create SOAtest project "TestAssets" project
- Configure license
- Configure CTP connection
- Validate that your SOAtest shows up in CTP
- Generate a localsettings file http://forums.parasoft.com/discussion/2699
- Close SOAtest

- type nssm install ParasoftSOAtestService
- Path: SOAtestcli executable
- Startup Directory: same as above
- Arguments: startServer -data C:\parasoft\workspaces\myWorkspace -localsettings C:\"PATH_TO_LOCALSETTINGS"localsetting.properties
