RQM - Tool to take snapshots during test execution?


Hemant Joshi (9111312) | asked Mar 02 '10, 10:51 p.m.
RQM doesnt take the screenprints/snapshot while the test cases are being executed.
Is there any other tool that can take the screen print and can be integrated with RQM?

I recommend getting a snapshot add-on for Firefox.

You can use your snapshot functionality integrated into the browser to save captures and then add the snapshots as attachments to the Execution Result as you are running your tests.

Hope that helps.

Yes John, this is what we are currently practicing, but we need to save it on local disk each time and then add it as an attachment. An automatic function will help. I must mention Thanks for taking time and responding on my query!

Assuming your using Rational Functional Tester (RFT), you do have the capability to capture screens and objects that would then appear in the RFT test log. Simply paste the appropriate code in your script where you want the capture. Graphics are in JPEG format. (All are on one line)

Full Screen Example:
logInfo("Step1 FULL SCREEN capture", getRootTestObject().getScreenSnapshot());

Object Example:
logInfo("Step1 Actual Value", label__2204388170().getScreenSnapshot());

Hope this helps,
Stan...
