Time Logging assistance

Hi,



I am new to test complete and wanted assistance for which i was unable to find a suitable answer.



I am using it for a desktop application. After the test is run and a detailed report is generated- I would like to have  detailed time report for time taken to execute each step.

Let's say for example: 

Launch application- 1.5seconds

Login - 1 second

Create Project- 2 seconds.



I understand that it does give a timestamp at each step when it started and when it ended but a way to generate something like the above example would be great. Because when i am delaing with 20 scripts with an average of 15steps each it is just a little annoying to look at start and end times to asceratin the exact time taken at each step.. Any assistance for the above mentioned report would really be appreciated.

    I used this article to build a clock that I can call.  I used it for pushing elapsed time to the indicator so I know how long my main test has been running, but you could easily rig up something to zero out and restart the time at the beginning of a test and then log it at the end.

    Thanks for your reply. But i am looking for something that will give me processing time taken at each step as i mentioned in my original post.



    This time log can be printed in the final logs or wherever.

    Example" Simple desktop application



    Launch Application-1sec

    Log In- 2 seconds

    Create project- 2 seconds

    Sign out- 1 sec.



    I am looking for something like this. Let me know if this is possible. I appreciate your help.

    Hi Darshan -

     


    Take the examples from either my link or Tanya's link to build a "mytimer" routine that tracks elapsed time.  In your case it would apply something like this:



    set mytimer = now

    launch application

    log "launch application time = "  mytimer

    set mytimer = now

    login

    log "login time = " mytimer

    set mytimer = now

    create project

    log "create project time = " mytimer

    set mytimer = now

    signout

    log "signout time = " mytimer
