About Viewing Results in the Log

After a manual test script has been run and the results saved, you can view results in the test log.

Open the test log in either of two ways:

Manual Tester displays the test log in the Text Editor.

You can export multiple test log files to a .csv (comma separated values) format. Manual Tester includes the name of the test file as the first column of data in the exported file. It exports the statement type, statement name, text of the statement, and the result. The last column of data is the date and time of each statement. After you export the test log file, you can have Manual Tester automatically display it. You can use a spreadsheet application or any text editor to view or edit the .csv file.

When using the Export wizard, type the path and file name in the Output file field. Manual Tester automatically adds the .csv extension.

Note: Manual Tester displays the result of the last verification point or reporting point in the script in the Verdict field of the Overview page of the test log. If it is a custom result, Manual Tester displays the Hyades result associated with the custom result rather than the custom result. To display the custom result, on the Events page in the Event section, highlight the verification point or the reporting point. Manual Tester displays the custom result for the verification point or reporting point in the Properties view in the Value field of the Result property.
