Capturing screenshots in Web Testing
TestArchitect currently provides two ways of capturing screenshots:
- Generic WebDriver (GWD) capturing (webdriver mode = on): capture the screenshot using webdriver method.
- Physical capturing (webdriver mode = off): capture the screenshot using physical method.
Generally, both ways support your screen capturing but the processing method and output result(s) are different. You can see the comparison below:
Table 1. Table comparison
| Cases | GWD | Physical |
|---|---|---|
| Headless mode | Yes | No |
| Multiple executions | Yes | No |
| Minimize window | Yes | No |
| Capture full screen | No. Users have to specify the window argument in order to capture the screen | Yes. Just leave the window argument empty to capture full screen. |
| Pop-up dialogs | No | Yes |
| Expanding HTML drop-down list | No. The browser may close expanding drop-down list unexpectedly when capturing screenshot. | Yes. Just leave the window argument empty to capture full screen that including the expanding drop-down list. |
