Can We configure the TestComplete in such a manner that after running the project suite we only wan to see the Test Log which has failure only ? Please update Thanks Nishchal

The number of logs to store doesn't have to do with the types of messages but the "history" of test runs to keep.Basically... you control what gets written to the log. If you don't want it in the log, don't write it out to the log. This is actually a practice that I encourage in my team. If the log doesn't say anything, assume it passed. Only if a Warning or Error appears do we have to worry about anything.

Really, it comes down to how much you're logging and what you're logging. The size of the MHT file is determine, entirely, but what the log contains. Marsha_R will reduce the number of "Event" logs that are automatically generated when you "click" or "keys" or such things. There is a setting to determine if you're going to take a screenshot when an error is generated. If you turn that off, that will reduce the log by some size. If you are using a lot of Log.Message or Checkpoints or things like that, they will be written to the log all the time. It you really want to reduce your log size, then you should go through your project and remove any unnecessary logging.

Marsha_R tristaanogre Thanks for the updates I followed the recommendations mentioned by Marsha_R . Size has been greatly reduced. I have attached the screenshot. When store Last =3 size is 1438 KB When store Last = 0 size is 16257 KB reduction of almost 15 MB. yes I am doing some property checkpoint but that is for the expected result. I will continue to run other tests and see how it will be total size. Thanks Nishchal

You can use this setting to limit the number of posts to the log. I would suggest keeping at least 2 or 3 before an error for troubleshooting purposes. https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/managing-projects/properties/playback.html Store last … events - Specifies the number of the last event messages that must be posted to the test log before an error message is posted to the log. 0 means that all event messages must be stored. Use this option to remove unnecessary event messages from the log and reduce its overall size.

Marsha_R Thanks for the updates . How about the Log Option Under the Engines as attached the ss ? Thanks Nishchal
