After running a test, you can view test results in TestComplete. If the Activate after test run option is enabled (default), TestComplete automatically displays the test log when the test run is over. In the Project Explorer, you can also open existing test logs.
The log viewer consists of several panels. The left panel, Log Items, displays a tree-like structure of the test results, while the pages on the right display the results contained in the selected log item. The layout of pages that show the results depends on the test type. The most commonly used layout is the Generic Test Log that shows the results of keyword tests, script tests, unit tests and other tests.
The table below lists various log pages that show tests results in TestComplete:
| Log Pages | Description |
