    If it run alone or can be adapted to, you have just to put in your cmd/bat calling TestExecute to exec TestCase1 and TestCase2 and then next command will be call of your summary script.

Why do you need to do test case 3 (summary) after log is generated ?

 

You can export log of test case individually if you want with Log.SaveResultsAs(l) so you can do:

Project suite

  Test case 1

      Log export

  Test case 2

    Log export

  Test case 3 (summary)

    Log ended and displayed

 

But no way of doing something AFTER having the log displayed on TC.

We have a script that counts the pass & fail test cases in the project log and sends it to api channel
