Research direction

Read the related tutorials issue 440 and the convergence.log documentation at precice.org/running-output-files.html#convergence-log, then inspect the tutorial testing or comparison entry points referenced by that work. Define suitable metrics for floating-point values and archive the log for comparison; done means convergence.log comparisons can run reliably without exact-text matching.

Description

system-tests

Similarly to https://github.com/precice/tutorials/issues/440, but for the convergence.log.

Since this file includes floating point numbers, we will need to define metrics for the comparisons.
