Don't get what you mean by an "XML log file" - and why XML? for
further parsing of the log results?
Anyway, if on Linux, getting the output both on the console and in a
file (as long as the format wanted in both is the same) is easy:

your_test_command | tee log_filename

That uses the Linux tee command (nice name, huh?) to make a copy of
its input both on stdout and to the given filename.

And if you're on Windows and need it badly enough, install Cygwin to
be able to use tee there too.
Note: Cygwin may be a little unstable (as per what I've heard from
friends) and _may_ (I don't say will) crash in some way. Caveat
user ...
