For the Javascript solution, we have to pass true value to the method scrollIntoView() to identify the object below ... Read More

Whenever we encounter a failure during testing, it is a common nature to capture the screenshots wherever there is a deviation from the expected result. Thus it is considered a mandatory step to attach a screenshot for creating a bug.While automating a bunch of test cases of a considerable number, capturing screenshot is critical to infer why a test case has failed for both the development and testing team. As they debug the failures, going through the screenshot and conclude if the failure is due to script issue or defect in the application.Let us discuss which part of the page ... Read More
