Apex Code Settings: Log Category and Log Level

The default logging levels for Apex tests executed during deployments and for the Execute Anonymous view are defined on the Apex Code Settings page in the project properties dialog. To open the project properties dialog, right-click your top-level project folder and select Properties.

To define logging levels for Apex test execution, select Run | Run Configurations | Apex Test. To create a test run configuration, then select New launch configuration ( New launch configuration icon ).
