Capturing Screenshots in Selenium WebDriver

 

Capturing Screenshots in Selenium WebDriver:

 

·  Capture Screenshot: The TakesScreenshot interface is used to capture the screenshot. The getScreenshotAs method captures the screenshot and stores it in a File object.

·  Save Screenshot: The screenshot is saved to a specified location using FileHandler.copy.
