Take screenshot of a web page using Selenium Web Driver (Java)

• Given any web page, we would like to take its screenshot using Selenium Web Driver.
• We can use this screenshot for reporting purpose or for raising a bug in case of a test case failure.
• We can capture the screenshot of any web page using three simple steps:
  • Step 1 : Cast WebDriver object to TakeScreenshot object using

    ((TakesScreenshot) driver).

  • Step 2: Use

    getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE)

    method to create an image file.

  • Step 3: Now copy the image file to desired location on your Machine using :

    FileUtils.copyFile(src, new File("D:\\Performance testing\\facebookPic.png"));

    • Screenshot (Image) file will be saved on your machine at specified location. e.g : (

      D:\\Performance testing\\facebookPic.png

      )

  • Now, Go to a specific location on your machine (

    D:\\Performance testing\\facebookPic.png

    ), we will be able to find the screenshot image file there.
