This section describes what
you should know about viewing functional test logs.
Functional test logs After
playback finishes, you can view results in the log. Results include any logged
events, such as verification point failures, script exceptions, object recognition
warnings, and any additional playback information.
Logging page
You use the Logging page to set log and comparator options,
such as preventing the script launch wizard from displaying on playback,
displaying the log viewer after playback, and displaying a message
before overwriting an existing log. You also use this page to indicate
the type of log generated.
Disabling enhanced log results
Logged events such as verification point failures, script
exceptions, object recognition warnings, and other additional playback
information are displayed in the playback log results. From Rational® Functional Tester version
8.2 and later, the results of the getProperty() command
are also displayed in the log results. If you do not require the log
event to be displayed in the playback log, you can disable the event
in the log results.
Viewing logs in the Functional Tester Projects view
You can open a log from the Functional Test Projects view.
In Functional Tester Projects view, the HTML, XML, and text logs are
listed within each project. The log list is displayed below the project.
The log has the same name as the project, with _logs appended,
for example, projectname_logs.
Viewing Dojo logs
Dojo logs are based on XML logs and display a graphical
representation of the test results. You can use Dojo logs to select
filters and view verification points, failed verdicts, warning verdicts,
and the detailed information on each action that is recorded in the
script. Dojo logs open in the default browser after script execution.
Managed logs and Rational TestManager
When you create a Functional Tester project, you can use the project
separately, or associate it with a Rational project to take advantage of the
integration features with TestManager.
Log Extension
You can create customized functional tester logs in addition
to the standard log formats: text, HTML, Test and Performance Tools
Platform (TPTP), and XML. You can use the customized logs to view
your playback results.
