Log Viewer

The Tricentis Tosca Log Viewer allows you to monitor the execution of TestCases. You can filter out relevant log information, view log reports, and track the execution of your TestCases in real-time.

By default, the Log Viewer saves your log files to %LOCALAPPDATA%\TRICENTIS\TOSCA TestSuite\logs. However, note that Tricentis Tosca automatically deletes log files that are older than 3 weeks.

Start the Log Viewer

To start the Log Viewer, launch the LogViewer.exe file from one of the following Tricentis Tosca directories:

  • %COMMANDER_HOME%

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\TRICENTIS\Tosca Testsuite\TBox

You can execute one Log Viewer application at a time.

Launch via command line

To start the Log Viewer via command line, navigate to one of its directories and enter the following prompt at command line:

LogViewer.exe [<log level>] [pause]

  • Replace <LogLevel> with one of the available log level values listed below.

  • The parameter pause is optional. It hides the log information in the UI. If you expect your TestCases to log large amounts of data, use this parameter.
