Switching off test logs to avoid overload of results database

Hi,

We are having multiple tests in a project to test our application and since our application is also running on multiple Infrastructure, we have requirement to run tests multiple times.

We notice that our results DB always gets full because of multiple executions and there is no way, we can switch off test level logs not to be written to database. We can do this only at the project level.

    From version 10.2.2 a new configuration option within test suites is available to control the verbosity of logging, this can also be over-ridden on the command line for use in CI/CD pipelines.

    Hi,

    The request is to provide an option to turn off test logging to result database like stubs.

    In order for us to correctly understand your requirements would it be possible for you to answer the following questions:
    1. You are asking to be able to turn off results database logging for some Test Suites in a project but not others, is this a setting that you expect to see on the test suite itself?
    2. Alternatively, is this a mode of execution to be selected at the point where the test is launched, either as an option when running or as a preference within the tool?
    3. Do you need this to be available from other places such as the command line when using RunTests?

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    We also struggle with maintenance of our results DB.
    Our current approach is to wait for it to fill up and everything comes crashing to a halt, then we remove EVERYTHING, so we have no log of recent results data and go again. We're lucky that we got allocated some significant disk space to extend our Tablespaces onto, so this tends to happen about once every 5 or 6 weeks.

    Housekeeping routines using IntegrationTester.cmd (or .exe or whatever) do not seem to work.
