Currently, test logs can be saved/exported as unpacked storage or as .mht file.
I prefer to have it as one file (so mht is preffered), however only IE is capable of showing .mht files. MHT format it's a bit of an obsolete file format.
The request is to implement an alternative format that is similar to MHT however more supported by different browsers.
XML with XSLT would be nice. This can be transformed and edited in many ways.
Thanks for the link!

Dear Tanya Gorbunova, the implemented export to pdf is nearly useless and not practically at all. Take a look for all the restrictions on the link above.
Colleagues!
I am trying to understand the exact requirement in this request, and it appears that it is rather vague. If we are talking about PDF, then it seems to be a different situation as PDF is a printed format which cannot be parsed in a general case.
Since the request was submitted, we added two more formats for exporting logs:
tcLogX - this is a single-file archive with a TestComplete full execution log that can be opened by TestComplete.
JUnit - this is a single XML file containing test execution summary in the JUnit format. This file can be sent to CI and test management systems. We will add this feature to TestComplete 14.10.
I suppose that these new formats can be a solution to the original request. I am going to close this request soon until the topic starter or somebody else has reasonable objections.
Dear Dmitry_Nikolaev,
is it correct, that both of exporting logs txLogX and JUnit (XML) are existing a long time. - And are not satisfactory.
I can't see any new format.
Testing is to be reported to people with and without unterstanding what a tester is doing. And an output only to open with TestComplete is no export solution. There is an urgent need for the format pdf for people with no IT practice. Because they give you money for your testing-job.
So please understand, that there is need for a pdf output or a word output or a format that can simple transferd to pdf.
So again the "new" formats are not a solution to the original request.
Best regards

ESG_QM is correct. There needs to be an outside-QA-friendly way to share the logs. PDF or an easily readable text option is quite necessary.
Dmitry_Nikolaev summarily closing a request that has 25 kudos doesn't seem reasonable. That's a lot of agreement on the topic. Perhaps a poll out on the main forum would be helpful, since many people forget the requests are here because it takes a long time for them to be addressed.
Hello Friends!
Thank you for your feedback; it truly makes sense!
We won't close this request and will renew its position in our task list.
