Network Logs

Network logs include information about requests between the web browser and the site being tested. DevAssure provides powerful features for capturing and displaying network logs during test execution. By enabling network log tracing with specifing settings, you can gain insights into your application's network interactions.

Enabling Network Log Tracing:​

  • Access the Project Preferences section in the side navigation within DevAssure.

  • Under the Web App settings , enable the "Trace Network Logs" option.

  • Trace Domains:

    • Input the domains of your application to avoid tracking unwanted network logs.
    • If left empty, all domains will be traced.

  • Request Types (Supported):

Currently, DevAssure traces network logs for the following request types:

  • FETCH: For modern web API requests.
  • XHR: For traditional XMLHttpRequest requests.
  • WEBSOCKET: For WebSocket connections.

Other request types (e.g., document, javascript, css) are excluded to avoid memory overload.
