Capturing a region on the screen

You can use an outline selection tool to define the area of the screen that you want to include in your test log.

To capture a region on the screen when running a script:
  1. At the statement in the execution viewer where you want to capture a region on the screen, click the Capture an image to associate with the current statement button on the execution viewer toolbar.

    Manual Tester displays the Capture Image dialog box.

  2. Select Region on the screen and in the File Name field, type the name you want to use for the image file.
  3. Click OK.

    Manual Tester minimizes the execution viewer so you can easily select the region and changes the mouse pointer to cross-hairs.

  4. Click and hold the left mouse button at the starting point of the region you want to capture (for example, the upper left corner of the region). While holding the left mouse button, drag to the ending point (for example, the lower right corner of the region).

    As you drag the cursor, Manual Tester outlines the region you are selecting.

  5. When the outline encompasses the region you want to capture, release the mouse button.

    The execution viewer is redisplayed.
