Hello community

I’m having a test suite which contains 500 test cases and ran it for a single time . I have identified 20 errors and fixed them ( these 20 got failed in the first run -480 passed , 20 failed) . After fixing the errors I have run these 20 test cases separately, and now I’m having two log files and two report files ( I have took the back up of log and reports of the first run but not the output .xml ) . Is there a way where I can merge these two log files without the help of output.xml

Without both run’s output.xml: no if you need to ask for guidance.
