Browser Console Logs Test Actions

Console logs are a record of the browser's activities when an application is loaded into the browser. Any issues with JS scripts will be captured within the console logs. DevAssure provides the ability to capture these logs and validate if any errors are present. Additionally all these errors can be added to the reports for further analysis.
