+ <item>By default the test server will start cover on all nodes
+ when the test is run with code coverage analysis. To make
+ sure cover is not started on a new node, set this option to
+ <c>false</c>. This can be necessary if the connection to
+ the node at some point will be broken but the node is
+ expected to stay alive. The reason is that a remote cover
+ node can not continue to run without its main node. Another
+ solution would be to explicitly stop cover on the node
+ before breaking the connection, but in some situations (if
+ old code resides in one or more processes) this is not
+ possible.</item>
