Adding Executables Files to a LiveCoverage Project

When you start LiveCoverage, you will initially have an empty project. You add the executables of your program to the project using the Add Executable command on the File menu.

If you want to make sure you're starting with an empty project, use the New Project command on the File menu. Note that closing all windows within the LiveCoverage workspace does not delete the existing project.

The Add Executable command will prompt you for a file name with a File Open dialog. The dialog allows multiple selection so any number of executables can specified at once.

Each executable must have valid symbolic debugging information available. This can either be a separate Program Database (.pdb) file, or Microsoft "C7 compatible" symbolic information embedded in the executable.

The executables files you add to the project will show up in the Summary Window , which is the only window open when LiveCoverage first starts. You can create a new Summary Window using the New Summary command from the Window menu.
