Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Log4j is a powerful Java-based logging utility that allows developers to control log messages through various levels, enabling effective debugging and monitoring of applications. It offers flexibility in log management and supports customization through configuration files for dynamic logging scenarios. In this course, you will explore the integration of logging mechanisms in your software testing process using Log4j. Next, you will learn the basics of logging with Log4j, capturing and recording various levels of informational messages from trace to fatal. You will programmatically configure logging to adjust behaviors based on the application's context. Then, you will configure console and file appenders, use PatternLayout for message formatting, and set up multiple loggers in a hierarchical structure. Finally, you will discover the advanced capabilities of Log4j by binding SLF4J to Log4j. You will also configure Log4j using the properties file for easy adjustments and customize logging formats and destinations. Additionally, you will set up rolling logs and filters to manage log file sizes and enhance the efficiency of your logging system.
