Logs are an important part in testing. A lot of time will show you problems you missed.  The idea is not to resume only at default logs. Ask the dev to create a log output functionality if the software doesn’t have one.

In Linux is usually easier to follow up logs, “tail -f” usually does a good job. Its harder when you have multiple files with logs and you need them in the same time.

In logs (especially debug mode) you can see also another level of the application. And usually is very useful. It gives you a different perspective on the product.
