One of the great advantages of having XML-based log files is being able to process them through a standard XSL Transformation (XSLT).

DTM Logger provides the following standard XML transformation templates:

  • Normalise.xslt converts the flat raw XML traces to a test->machine->process->thread hierarchy.

  • Visualise.xslt converts the normalized XML log file to an HTML file that shows the test results.

To perform the transformation, you can use the Msxsl.exe program, which is a free download from Microsoft. You can also design your own .NET transformation program.

Example transformation

The following example command transforms a log file to a normalized view of the test case in which the traces are organized in a test->machine->process->thread hierarchy:

msxsl.exe mytest.m.xml normalise.xslt /o normalised.xml
