    Anything that is a Test Item in a project will show up as a node.  Your best best is to incorporate your utility code somehow into your tests or, if they are build up andtear down kinds of things, perhaps make a completely different project and add it to the project suite to execute before your main project and another project for tear down to execute after the main project.  Then your log for your main project will be pristine.

Sorry maybe I explained myself wrong, i want to check the start execution of the first test and the end execution of the last test . For example if I use the event OnStartTest I can't know if it's the start of the first or second or third test

How are you organizing your tests in TestComplete?  Are you using TestItems to do so?

If that's the case, you could simply set your utility scripts as the first test items that execute and the last ones that execute.  Then, in those tests, do a Log.Enabled = false until the utilities are done and then Log.Enabled = true when they are finished.  That will turn on/off the test log for those scripts.

    I tried to follow your suggestion but unfortunately it doesn't solve my problem, though the flag Log.enabled is false however TestComplete considers the utility scripts

    Do you have others ideas to solve this problem?

     

    Thanks

      I don't understand what you mean by "considers the utility scripts".

        The first four tests are the utility script, I want to disabled the logs for these tests.

         

        This is my organize test
