Network Logs

Testsigma allows you to capture and analyse network traffic during test execution with its network log feature. Enabling the network log provides valuable insights into the interactions between your application and the server, helping you debug issues related to network requests and responses.

This documentation will guide you on how to enable the network log in Test Case and Test Plan, access, view the status, and download network logs in the ad-hoc run page and the run test case page.

Prerequisites

Before starting, understand the concepts of Projects, Test Cases, Test Plans, Ad-hoc Runs, and Test Machines in Testsigma. Familiarising yourself with these concepts will make working with the Network Log feature easier.

Enable Network Logs in Test Case

1. Click Run in the top right corner of the screen on the Test Case details page.
2. Select BrowserStack as a Test Lab on the Ad-hoc Run page on the right side of the screen, enable the Network Log toggle, and click Run Now to start Test Execution.

Enable Network Logs in Test Plan

1. Navigate to the Add Test Suites & Link Machine Profiles tab on the Create or Edit Test Plan page.
2. Click the Test Machine Settings icon, and the Adding or Editing Test Machine/Device Profiles overlay will appear.
3. On the Add or Edit Machine/Device Profile overlay, select Test Lab Type as BrowserStack, enable the Network Log toggle, and click Create/Update.

Network Log Management

After completing the test execution on the Run Test Case Page, you should follow these steps to access and analyse the captured network logs:

1. Click the Show Logs button on the Run Results page and locate the section dedicated to Network Logs under the Logs tab.
2. In the Network Logs Previews, you can see a summary of captured network activity, including request URLs, HTTP methods, status codes, and response sizes. Quickly scan through the logs to identify anomalies or errors in the network interactions.
3. Click Download Log File at the top-right of the screen to retrieve the network log file in HAR format. You can then analyse the network logs offline.
