Summary

Taking screenshots in Selenium WebDriver using JavaScript can be super helpful in checking problematic areas on the page. Capturing such screenshots can help you witness the execution as the desired point and debug your tests in a much easier and faster way. Online tools like LambdaTest can help you capture step by-step screenshots of your test with minimal additions to the test capabilities. Selenium WebDriver offers various methods for taking screenshots, including the TakeScreenshot interface, which allows capturing the screenshot of the entire viewable area or a specific element. You can also use external libraries such as Sharp to crop and save the screenshot of a particular element. In Selenium 4, the ability to capture the screenshot of a specific element is simplified, making it easier for developers to debug their tests. Additionally, online tools like LambdaTest provide an easy way to take step-by-step screenshots of your test, helping you identify problematic areas in your application and improve your testing process.
