CheckView enhances your debugging capabilities by saving the browser network log for each test step. These logs provide detailed information about the network requests and responses made during the execution of your tests. Users can download each response found in the network log as .txt files, making it easier to analyze and identify the reasons behind any test failures.
How to Use Browser Network Logs
- Executing Tests: When you run a test in CheckView, the browser network logs are automatically recorded for each step of the test.
- Accessing Logs: After the test execution is complete, navigate to the test results page and click on the specific test step you want to investigate. Each step will have its own associated network log.
- Downloading Logs: On the right side of the page, you will find the third tab called ‘Network’. Click that tab to view each network response saved in the log. You can then download any of the specific responses to text file by clicking ‘Download response’ to the right of the specific response. Note by default, many browsers will open the saved response in a new tab instead of via direct download so if you prefer to download it, once the new tab has opened with the response, click File->Download Page As to save onto your computer directly.
- Analyzing Logs: Once downloaded or viewed, review the log entries to understand the network activity during the test step. Look for any error response codes or unusual patterns that might indicate why the test is failing. Share response codes with your development team to get their insights and collaboratively solve complex issues.
Additional Information
- Privacy and Security: Network logs are stored securely and are only accessible to authorized users within your organization. Sensitive information within the logs is protected according to our privacy policies.
- Retention Period: Network logs are retained for the duration of your test result retention period. Ensure you download and save any logs you need before they are automatically purged according to your account’s data retention settings.
