QAS supports capturing screenshots automatically for Failure and Success checkpoints when the Test cases are executed via the command line terminal. However, sometimes users want to generate a screenshot for events. In such cases users can follow the below steps to capture the screenshot from the code level:

1. Create Method in stepsLibrary.java ('src\test\java\steps\common')

2. Import statement to import class:

3. import com.qmetry.qaf.automation.util.Reporter;
