I suggest asking some target users what name they would use. You should also look at similar naming conventions in leading development tools - Dev. Studio, Eclipse, etc.
I don't know the exact nature of the tool you are designing, but terminology in the development community is fairly well defined. The target technology (Java, .NET, XHTML...) may influence the name choice. There is probably already some accepted standard naming convention for the types of values you are looking to expose in your UI. If that's true you should leverage that pre-existing knowledge in your user base. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
