Using the Ashot API

The Ashot API provides the following features:

• Takes a screenshot of an individual WebElement on different platforms (such as desktop browsers, iOS simulator, mobile Safari)
• Decorates the screenshots
• Provides screenshot comparison

Taking screenshots of individual WebElements is also possible with AShot.

AShot takes a screenshot in three steps:

1. Captures a screenshot of the full page
2. Finds the element's size and coordinates
3. Adjusts the original screenshot by cropping

This way, AShot provides an image of the WebElement

To use AShot, add the dependency given here to pom.xml:

<dependency>
 <groupId>ru.yandex.qatools.ashot</groupId>
 <artifactId>ashot</artifactId>
 <version>1.1</version>
</dependency>

The following code helps to take a full-page screenshot:

public class TakeScreenShot {

  public static void main...
