Abstract

One of the examples is to define and use the concept of “Logs/Traces Profile” and “System Logs/Traces Profile” (including a role and the log and trace file locations), and incorporate them within the test design document. Each test design document can be associated to each test case to highlight which logs and traces need to be collected during its execution. In this way, the testers will know which logs and traces to provide to the code developers, when addressing an issue. In this way, developer can investigate the bug, understand them, and be able to fix the problem, especially due to timing, synchronization, and concurrency.
