Visual Execution Logs with TrueLog

TrueLog is a powerful technology that simplifies root cause analysis of test case failures through visual verification. The results of test runs can be examined in TrueLog Explorer. When an error occurs during a test run, TrueLog enables you to easily locate the line in your script that generated the error so that the issue can be resolved.

Note: TrueLog is supported only for one local or remote agent in a script. When you use multiple agents, for example when testing an application on one machine, and that application writes data to a database on another machine, a TrueLog is written only for the first agent that was used in the script. When you are using a remote agent, the TrueLog file is also written on the remote machine.

For additional information about TrueLog Explorer, refer to the Silk TrueLog Explorer User Guide, located in (in Microsoft Windows 7) Start > Programs > Silk > Silk Test > Documentation or (in Microsoft Windows 10) Start > Silk.

You can enable TrueLog in Silk4NET to create visual execution logs during the execution of Silk4NET tests. The TrueLog file is created in the working directory of the process that executed the Silk4NET tests.

The default setting is that screenshots are only created when an error occurs in the script, and only test cases with errors are logged.
