Obtaining test results

Results will be printed to the console (stdout) as well as a short summary at the end. Additionally, the logfiles log_execution.txt, log_validation.txt and log_output.txt will be created unless the option -n|--nolocallog is specified. Note that log_output.txt will be empty as long as there was nothing printed on stderr by the called program. This log file can be helpful to find out why a certain test failed.

There is also the possibility to let Autotester write an XML output file by specifying the option -X|--xmloutput. This output will be written to the file output.xml in the directory where Autotester is executed and contains detailed information about the tests and validations as well as their results. The XML format of this output is based on the ATC format. For a detailed description of the format, see schema/output.xsd. The file name and location of the output file can be overwritten using the option -M|--xmloutputfile [FILE]
