Taking screenshots

During your Automated Testing, you can take screenshots of the current webpage by issuing a "Take Screenshot" command.
Depending on which framework/language binding you are using, the syntax might be a little bit different.

If you want to automatically take a screenshot for each step in your test, you can use the custom screenshot TestingBot capability.
