Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product for performing an evaluation of a software product wherein a logging module stores in a storage area, such as log file, a description of each loggable test step performed by automated test software. When the automated test is complete or when the software product has filed the automated test, the logging module can write the contents of the log file to a tangible medium so that a user can determine the source of the error or manually reproduce the test steps.
