Taking and editing screenshots

Manual test execution in Tosca allows you to take screenshots in the Manual Test Case Manager to document found errors. Note that if you work with multiple monitors, you can only capture screenshots when the scaling in the display settings matches on all screens.

Adding Result Screenshots to TestSteps

You can take any number of result screenshots for each TestStep.

To add a result screenshot to a TestStep or TestStepValue of a TestCase, click on the Add Result Screenshot icon in the Manual Test Case Manager. The option is available in the Results column of the List view and in the Screenshot tab of the Media view.

Adding Design Screenshots to TestSteps

You can either edit design screenshots of a TestStep or add a newly created design screenshot. You can capture only one design screenshots for each TestStep.

To manually add a design screenshot to a TestStep of a TestCase, click on the Add Design Screenshot icon in the Manual Test Case Manager. The option is available in the Design column of the List view and in the Screenshot tab of the Media view.

Once you save a TestCase, all design screenshots that are selected in the Design column in the Manual Test Case Manager are saved. Enable the checkboxes next to the screenshots you would like to keep. Click on Keep All in the Screenshot tab if you would like to keep all design screenshots. The selected design screenshots are saved to the Managed Files Area of the TestCase and they are referenced in the Attachments folder (see chapter "Create file references").

Editing screenshots

You can edit screenshots in the Screenshot Editor or in the Screenshots tab in the Media view of the Manual Test Case Manager.

The Screenshot Editor

The Screenshot Editor enables you to add annotations (comments, shapes) to your screenshots. The Screenshot Editor opens whenever you capture a new screenshot or double-click an existing screenshot in the List view of the Manual Test Case Manager.

If you have added a screenshot, a video or a file, a window will open when you left-click the corresponding icon in the List view of the Manual Test Case Manager.

In this window you can either add objects, view, export or delete them.

Select, for instance, a screenshot and click on Annotate in order to edit the screenshot in the Screenshot Editor. Double-click onto an existing screenshot to open and edit a screenshot in the Screenshot Editor.

The following options are available:

Option	Description
Save and Close	This saves the screenshot and exits the Screenshot Editor.
Edit section	Contains options for editing and deleting annotations.
Annotation section	Here you can either draw a text input box or use graphical symbols for your annotations.
Undo	Cancels the previous action.
Redo	Restores the previous action.

Exporting Screenshots

In the Manual Test Case Manager you can export any screenshot which is added to your TestCase.

To export a screenshot, follow the steps below:

1. Select the TestStep or TestStepValue to which the screenshot you want to export is attached to.

2. Click on Export in the Screenshot tab of the Media view in the Manual Test Case Manager. You can also choose the Export option in the List view of the Manual Test Case Manager by clicking the icon in the Design or Result column.
