This field allows you to select which executable file the rest of the properties page refers to.

Folder text box

This field shows the folder where the executable will be found. Environment variables may be used within the folder name.

Coverage File text box

This field contains the name of the coverage file for this executable file. It is used by the Save Coverage and Save All Coverage commands on the File menu, as well as the automatic save of coverage files done when test coverage is completed.

At the right end of this text box is a button labeled "...". Activating this button will prompt you with a File Open dialog which can be used to select a file name that will be entered into the text box. This text box will also accept a drag and drop file or folder name from Windows Explorer.

Environment variables may be used within the file name.

Baseline File text box

You may enter the name of an optional baseline coverage file in this field.

At the right end of this text box is a button labeled "...". Activating this button will prompt you with a File Open dialog which can be used to select a file name that will be entered into the text box. This text box will also accept a drag and drop file or folder name from Windows Explorer.

Instrument check box

If this box is checked, LiveCoverage will instrument the executable file. Instrumentation occurs when either the Instrument Now or the Start commands on the Test menu are used.

No. of Executions text box (read-only)

This field displays the number of times the executable file has run since the last time the coverage file was cleared. The coverage file is cleared (and this count set to zero) by either using the Clear Coverage command on the Test menu, or when the coverage file signature does not match the current version of the executable file.
