The functionality of DTM Logger can be loosely divided into the following categories:

  • Topology configuration manages how log devices connect and controls how they are organized. This configuration enables you to pass a configuration string to a log device to describe a desired topology for a test run.

  • Test case management manages all test cases in a test run, including:

    • Marking the start and end of each test case.
    • Creating and closing the test context.
    • Setting up auto-logging by setting test case-specific and test computer-specific information.
    • Generating the pass-fail results for the test case.

  • Program flow control checks and handles test errors in a consistent way. This control makes it possible to triage test failures automatically.

  • Tracing creates and logs trace messages and converts them to XML.
