How to Take Screenshot and Partial Screenshot in Selenium WebDriver

-
In this tutorial we will learn to take full screenshot and partial screenshot. In automation we capture the screenshots for reference. To capture screenshot in Selenium 'TakeScreenshot' interface is used.




Take Screenshot Command:

/************************************
 * Capture Screenshot               *
 ************************************ 
 */

/* Create object of File class of Java 
 * And capture screenshot using getScreenshotAs() method of Webdriver
 * Set Output type of screenshot taken as 'File'
*/
File screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

/* Use FileUtils class of Java 
 * Call it's copyFile method
 * Copy screenshot file to a location with some name and extension you want
*/
FileUtils.copyFile(screenshot, new File("D:\\screenshot.jpg"));




How to Take Partial Screenshot:

Sometimes we don't want to take screenshot of the full screen. Reasons might be, full size images would last in huge memory storage for image directory or sometimes we need to take element specific screenshot due to test case requirement which makes more sense.

Here is the Webdriver code snippet for taking partial screenshot:

    I appreciate your efforts for creating these quick reference blogs. Keep up the good work.
    Just an observation that TakeScreenshot is an Interface and not a Class.
