Record screenshots for user manul

Post by mhelmer » Mon Jul 28, 2014 7:34 pm

Hi,

I want to define a test which actually defines a workflow I want to document in my user manual.
Therefore I would like to automatically generate screenshots.

Is this supported by Ranorex?

Thanks for any hint.

Hi mhelmer,

yes, Ranorex supports adding screenshots. Just look at the actions, Select Report. And then on the Actions column select screenshot.
The screenshot feature is very flexible, since it not only can take screenshots of the desktop, but you can add ANY kind of repository element to take screenshot of.

If you want to take screenshot of the browser window, just add the root dom element to the screenshot. I fyou want to take screenshot of an element you add it. I you can get the xpath of a panel, or a div, then the whole area with the controllers in it will be taken a screenshot.

Best Regards,
Zoltan
