Image Capture

image_editor

Purpose

The Drawing Tools image editor lets you capture a section of the current screen or application under test, add annotations to help document the  image and then attach the final result to the current test case, test step, or manual test result.

How to Open

You can open the Drawing Tools dialog box by clicking on the Image icon on the various rich text editors in Rapise. When you do that, Rapise will minimize itself and display the following screen:

image_editor_select_screen_region

You now need to draw a rectangle on your screen that tells Rapise which part of the screen you want to capture. Once that is done, the image editor will open with that part of the screen selected. If you click ESC on the keyboard, it will just open the editor with no initial image.

The image editor provides the following tools:
