3.3.10 LOG File Sample

Log file is a test result file, which records the following information: Test module name,
Test item name, Start/End time and the test result (including PASS, FAIL, SKIP and
ABORT). When a failure is found, both the error code and the error information were
recorded.

In the Log file, we use Test Items as the test item name, which could not be modified in
the whole time. And we use the Internal Name as name in the program’s UI, which
corresponds to the test item name and could be modified according to the user’s favorite.
