When working with Katalon Studio, efficient logging practices are crucial for maintaining clarity and organization in your test automation projects. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, understanding the available options can help you tailor a logging strategy that best suits your needs.
Understanding Katalon Studio’s Default Logging
Katalon Studio automatically generates logs for each test case and produces comprehensive test reports in various formats including .csv, .html, .log, and .xml for entire test suites. These built-in capabilities provide a solid foundation for basic logging needs.
Customizing Logging with Log4j
For more advanced logging requirements, integrating Log4j into Katalon Studio offers enhanced control. You can define a custom logging configuration within a .properties file. Below is a sample configuration:
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file
# Direct log messages to a log file
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.Append=false
log4j.appender.file.File=C:\\log\\logging.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=10MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:(%F:%L) - %m%nAfter setting up your configuration file, apply it using:
PropertyConfigurator.configure("path of .properties file")Creating a Custom Logging Framework
For those seeking complete customization, developing your own logging and reporting framework might be the best approach. This allows you to define specific logging behaviors and formats that align precisely with your testing objectives.
