The Tutorial will take you through a sample session of LiveCoverage step-by-step. It will guide you through a set of scenarios -- using the sample application included with LiveCoverage -- so you can learn what LiveCoverage will do and how to do it.
Or, you can jump in and start working on your own application. Here are the basic steps for setting up LiveCoverage to measure test coverage of your program. Select the link for any step to get the details. (If you have the demonstration version of LiveCoverage, the tutorial is highly recommended because the demonstration version can only measure test coverage on the provided sample application.)
Before you begin, make sure your program is ready to run and has symbolic debugging information available. If you can run the program under a debugger such as Microsoft Visual C++, you're all set.
Step 1. Add the executable files of your program to an empty LiveCoverage project. This can include any number of files with ".exe" and ".dll" extensions.
Step 2. Choose whether to have LiveCoverage launch your test directly, or to have it instrument your executables so you can launch the test yourself as you normally would.
Step 3. Start the test. LiveCoverage will update test results dynamically as the test proceeds, and save the results when the test is finished.
Step 4. Once you have created a LiveCoverage project for your program, you can save it for future test coverage sessions.
