When the trial software, and a problem (for example) errors, is very useful, in general, to take a picture on the screen capture and "the problem, as it happens. If a software programmer to see" the problem may just as you read the step-by-step description of the events that led to the error - which really helps to communicate the exact problem.
If you are not a tool to do this, you can not simply "collecting old PRTSC" key combination for the active window, paste it into Windows Paint,and then modify as desired. However, there are a number of screen-capture tool for Windows that help to achieve this is easier (and effective), including some tools that a small fee and some are even freeware.
Two of my favorite tools are SnagIt (a tool at low cost from TechSmith - the maker of Camtasia) and a freeware tool called MWSnap. SnagIt is a screen capture industrial-strength tool with many advanced features, including the capture object, videosAnd Web capture detection (as well as many standard bitmap rectangular window, and options to capture the desktop). You can save the image as BMP, JPG, TIF, or in another format. It 'also part of Camtasia Studio, a suite of tools contains. And 'much appreciated, and I used it for years without problems.
MWSnap is a freeware tool that the basic task of detection and errors made mistakes, how to get a test. Covered an area both fixed and variable rectangularand windows and desktop and file types, BMP, JPG, and others. One of the most common concerns I have with freeware tools, reliability is of course (- I hate the buggy software programs - ha ha) but it seems very sturdy and MWSnap I have no problems with it after few years of use. I recommend it for a freeware tool and if you run a Google search - you can use the download link and see user reviews.
Like come and trya lack, an image (also known as a screen capture from him) Save as evidence of the problem. Really helps to clarify and demonstrate the problem, the programmer or web designer or as an attachment to an online report that describes the problem. You will also find many other uses for the tools necessary testing of software documentation for help.
Other questions may be, to me to be guided by the site StellarLogic. Happy troubleshooting, and good luck in his new software testingCareer!
