Creating testing Deliverables using TestComplete 1 - Browser Images

Here is what I use to create deliverables after I finish an automated testing.

1) Having screenshots to submit for a web application.

I created this library routine Click_Picture that takes a picture of the entire browser screen(even parts that are not currently visible on the screen) and stores them at a desired location.

1) picNum starting from 1000 helps sort the pictures in the folder in the order it was taken. You can use/change/discard it as you desire.

2)  fldrPath_TestRun is a folder I create at the beginning of each test to save any files related to my current test run.

3) strPicName is a short descriptor for the picture that is being taken. A convention I use is 'B' means before and 'A' means after. e.g.
'A_Login' means after login
'B_SubmitForm' means before submitting the form.


 4) PagePicture is a method that TestComplete provides to capture a complete image of the tested object.

5) lib_FileCopy is any library function that can copy the picture from where TestComplete saves it to the desired folder.


DIM picNum: picNum = 1000

DIM fldrPath_TestRun

fldrPath_TestRun = "C:\TC11Projects\03012016_103216AM"

PUBLIC FUNCTION Save_PagePicture(ByVal strPicName)

  DIM src_Path, dest_Path
  picName = picNum & "_" & TRIM(strPicName)

  src_Path = Log.Picture(Sys.browser.Page("*").PagePicture, "Saving page picture")                                              
    dest_Path = fldrPath_TestRun & "\" & picName & ".png"                                               
    CALL lib_FileCopy(src_Path, dest_Path)
    Log.Message("SAVED PICTURE:")
    Log.Message(dest_Path)

END FUNCTION
