Each message posted to the log by a keyword test or script routine has text and priority and optionally may have extended text, images and call stack data. These additional information makes the messages rich in content and helps you better understand what happened with your tests during the run.
| Note: | Additional information is only available in the generic test log pages. |
To view extended text of a message
-
Select the desired message in the test log. TestComplete will update other log panels with the information relevant for the selected messages.
-
Switch to the Details panel to view the extended text.
To view the image associated with a message
-
Select the desired message in the test log.
-
Switch to the Picture panel.
To view a call stack for a message
Typically, tests may call each other. For example, a keyword test may call a script routine and vice versa. The execution sequence may be even more complex and include several levels. Knowing this sequence may help you better understand what happened in your project during the run and find the cause of the problem.
To view the run sequence of tests that led to posting a message to the log:
-
Select the desired message in the test log.
-
Switch to the Call Stack panel. This panel lists the execution sequence of tests that led to posting the selected message to the log.
You can then open the tests for editing by double-clicking the desired test in the Call Stack panel.
| Note: | The Call Stack panel is empty, if the test engine did not collect the data about the test execution sequence during the run. For information about collecting this data, see Collecting Call Stack Information for Log Messages. |
