Audit Logs and History

Learn how to track user activity and monitor changes across your Test Management workspace using Audit Logs and History.

BrowserStack Test Management provides Audit Logs and History to give you visibility into what is happening in your workspace:

• Audit Logs: A workspace-level log of high-level actions, such as creating, updating, and deleting entities, performed across projects. Audit Logs are useful for admins, compliance teams, and anyone who needs an overview of activity across the workspace.
• History: A detailed, field-level change log for a specific entity. Shows exactly what changed, who changed it, and when. History is useful for tracking how a test case has evolved over time.

Audit Logs

Audit Logs record significant actions performed on entities in your Test Management workspace. They help you answer questions like the following:

• “Who deleted this test plan?”
• “When was this test run created?”
• “Which user made changes to these test cases?”

Tracked entities and actions

Audit Logs currently track the following entities and actions:

Audit log information

Access and export Audit Logs

To export Audit Logs:

Data retention

The following limits apply per export request:

• Maximum entries per export file: Up to 250,000.

History

History is a detailed, field-by-field change log for a specific entity. Unlike Audit Logs, which show high-level actions across the workspace, History focuses on a single entity. It shows exactly what changed, including the previous and new values for each modified field.

Tracked fields

History is available for Test Cases. Each History entry shows:

• Date and time: When the change was made, shown in your local system time.
• User: Who made the change.
• Changed fields: The specific fields that were updated, along with their previous and new values.

Access History

See Test case versioning to learn how to view History, compare versions, and restore a previous version of a test case.
