Adding a Log step

Edit online

You can insert a custom Log statement in a test as a step. The inserted Log statement is printed in the Console window and the Functional report. For example, you can add a custom statement to demarcate the test steps related to order generation, user creation, or report generation in an application or you can use a Log statement to display the value of a variable.
