A Test Log is a chronological record documenting details about executed tests during the testing process. It serves as an essential reference for tracking progress and analysing results.
Key Components:
- Test Case Identifier: Unique ID for each executed test case.
- Execution Date/Time: When the test was performed.
- Tester Name: The individual who executed the test.
- Test Results: Outcome of each test (pass/fail).
- Defects Identified: Any issues discovered during testing.
Maintaining accurate test logs supports accountability, facilitates communication among team members and aids in future analysis of testing effectiveness.
