Setting up the STIF configuration file

STIF has an configuration file that is used to set up the tool's functionality, for example, default environment settings such as filepaths for test reports, and the used test modules.

To set up the configuration file, do the following:

  1. To start creating the configuration file, select File > New > Other.
  2. Select Carbide Extensions > STIF Configuration file, and click Next.
  3. Click Browse to locate the file container of your choice, that is, the project being tested.
  4. In the File name field, enter the name of the configuration file.
  5. Click Finish.

    The configuration file (identified with .ini) is created to the selected container in Project Explorer. In addition, it is also opened in the Carbide.c++ view as text-only version.

    For instructions on how to modify this file using the STIF Configuration Editor, see Editing the configuration file.
