Feature: Test Log File

  Scenario: Check log file for specific content
    Given I have a log file "<log_file>"
    When I search for "<search_term>" in the log file
    Then I should see "<expected_content>" in the log file

    Examples:
      | log_file   | search_term | expected_content |
      | myapp.log  | ERROR      | Database failure |
      | myapp.log  | WARNING    | Out of memory     |
      | myapp2.log | INFO       | Successful login |

Feature: Log Verification
