Definition

On the Start Options screen there is an entry field Log Details. This setting defines which data are written to the log during execution.

For a traceable automated test, you must use the option Complete Log.

If there is a large number of automated tests and frequent test execution, the complete log can lead to a large amount of log data in database tables. To avoid logging unnecessary details in eCATT logs, you can use simplified log versions.

These options skip the logging of many eCATT commands, as long as the test result is positive. If a command is executed with a negative test result, the logging is switched to Complete Log for all executed commands up to the current command with the error.

Tests with completely positive test results generally cannot be traced to their execution details if the short log option is used.

Options

[SPACE] - Complete Log

All executed eCATT commands are logged completely with all details.

S - Short Log

Only block commands and those commands listed below are logged. The eCATT log data of the currently executed test variant are buffered in the memory of the current transaction SECATT during the test execution. In the case of a negative test result at a command, the buffered log data of the current variant up to the current command with the error is written to the database.

The following data is logged:

  • Test configurations with system data and start options

  • Test script with variant and IMPORT / EXPORT

  • REF / REFCATT / REMOTECATT / REFEXT / VALIDATE, each with IMPORT / EXPORT / RDC

  • MESSAGE / ENDMESSAGE

  • PERF

  • IF / ELSEIF / ELSE

  • DO / LOOP

  • STORE / RETRIEVE / DELSTORE

  • LOG / LOGMSG / LOGTEXT

T - High-Level Log

Only the high level nodes are logged. In the case of a negative test result at a command, the buffered log data of the current variant up to the current command with the error is written to the database.

The following data is logged:

  • Test configurations with system data and start options

  • First test script with variant and IMPORT / EXPORT

X - Short Log Without Error Option (as S)

In the case of a completely positive test result, this option is the same as option S described above.

In contrast to S, the log data are not buffered at runtime if you use option X. It is not possible to write the complete log in the case of an error.

Y - High-Level Log Without Error Option (as T)

In the case of a completely positive test result, this option is the same as option T described above.

In contrast to option T, the log data are not buffered at runtime if you use option Y. It is not possible to write the complete log in the case of an error.
