Logging Levels
The Application Log warnings and errors pertain to loading or running the test. The following information
can be displayed:
•
Errors—These messages show information about critical conditions that prevent a test run or stop a
test in progress.
•
Warnings—These messages show information about conditions that may require attention, but do not
prevent a test run or stop a test in progress.
•
Information—These messages typically verify the start, result, or completion of a user-initiated action,
or inform the user of the start, result, or completion of a system-initiated action. They can also be notes
added by users.
The application records each message with a date and time stamp. Messages are also persisted from one
session to another.
