"I am trying to use ansible as a test tool. at the end of each sucess/faiure i want to append a string at the end of a file and this file can be used as a test report. i Have tried this code but it did not log anything in the file."
This sounds like a good use for a callback plugin. A custom callback plugin could append to a file on *_ok/*_fail callbacks. I would base it around the python 'logging' module, but it could be something simpler. The 'junit' callback might be a good example and could possibly be used directly if a junit.xml file is useful for your test tool.
