Capture and review evidence

Capture is off by default. Your test project can enable action and failure evidence independently. Choose formats based on what you need to review.

Format	Use it for
Image	See the rendered page at the captured moment.
HTML	Share a captured page with support for investigation.
JSON	Share structured capture details with support or reporting tools.

Choose when to capture

Normal action capture	Before-and-after capture	Result
Off	Off	No action snapshots.
On	Off	Normal after-action capture.
Off	On	Before and after supported actions.
On	On	Before and after supported actions, without requesting the same phase twice.

Failure capture remains independent. Existing action evidence is reused where it represents the same failure event, avoiding duplicate captures. Distinct action phases and different failed states can produce separate evidence.

Project options

Setting	Purpose
ENABLE_EXECUTION_SNAPSHOT	Normal execution action capture.
ENABLE_EXECUTION_BEFORE_AFTER_SNAPSHOT	Before-and-after capture.
CAPTURE_EXECUTION_HTML_SNAPSHOT	Include HTML action evidence.
CAPTURE_EXECUTION_IMAGE_SNAPSHOT	Include image action evidence.
CAPTURE_EXECUTION_JSON_SNAPSHOT	Include structured action evidence.
ENABLE_FAILURE_SNAPSHOT	Capture failed states.
CAPTURE_FAILURE_HTML_SNAPSHOT	Include HTML failure evidence.
CAPTURE_FAILURE_IMAGE_SNAPSHOT	Include image failure evidence.
CAPTURE_FAILURE_JSON_SNAPSHOT	Include structured failure evidence.
EXECUTION_SNAPSHOT_PATH	Project location for execution evidence.

Use Y to enable and N to disable. Selecting a format alone does not enable capture. Selecting no formats produces no snapshots. Changing capture settings does not remove old evidence or recover earlier uncaptured events.

Review the failed step, observed page and expected outcome together. Treat evidence as diagnostic information, not proof that the business requirement passed. Use approved test data: captures may include application information.
