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 a workspace (C:\parasoft\workspaces\myWorkspace
    • Create SOAtest project "TestAssets" project
    • Configure license
    • Configure CTP connection
    • Validate that your SOAtest shows up in CTP
    • Generate a localsettings file

    • type nssm install ParasoftSOAtestService
    • Path: SOAtestcli executable
