This page is a high level account of the structured logging project providing links to many resources about the project. This page is a work in progress.

Background and Motivation

Goals:

  • Support a wider range of output formats
  • Eliminate complex and brittle regex based log parsing
  • Consolidate output processing between harnesses

Approach:

  • Establish a common data format for test results
  • Populate data format in-harness with a standardized logging API
  • Log data from test harnesses as data structures rather than formatting them into strings

Implementation

Participant Systems

  • System under test (Javascript, Java, C++)
  • Python test harness
