How to enable test controller logs

Here are the steps which you should perform to enable test controller logs.

1. Go to your test controller installation directory (typically it is something like C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\).

2. Open the controller configuration file (QTController.exe.config) and change the trace level to 4 and enable the trace listener as shown below:

  <system.diagnostics>
    <switches>
      <!-- You must use integral values for "value".
           Use 0 for off, 1 for error, 2 for warn, 3 for info, and 4 for verbose. -->
      <add name="EqtTraceLevel" value="4" />
    </switches>
  </system.diagnostics> 

.....

    <add key="CreateTraceListener" value="yes"/>
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

3. Restart the test controller service.

After this the log file (Vsttcontroller.log) should get generated in the same installation directory.

    We're using TFS 2013 and found the config file at "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0Common7IDEQTController.exe.config".  Thanks for the article! :)

    Rahul,Can you please try out the suggestion(s) mentioned in this thread where another customer faced similar issue?social.msdn.microsoft.com/.../build-deploy-test-workflow-could-not-load-file-or-assemblyThe gist of the above thread is : -Install Visual studio on the test controller machine of the same version as your test controller.If 1 does not help and there is a version mismatch, then copy the appropriate version of uitest related assemblies to test controller installation directory and then it should work. RegardsAseem Bansal
