Answer / guest

To capture the ACTIVE WINDOW on the screen u can use the key
combination of : ALT + PRINTSCREEN.

(u wont see any change/result when u perform this operation)

now open paintbrush / msword / notepad and paste there. save
the file and this file can be used as an attachment to send
to the developer).

To capture the ENTIRE SCREEN AS A WINDOW then u can use the
key : PRINTSCREEN.

the file and this file can be used as an attachment to send

You can also use snagit software, which takes less memory
space and helps you to capture a particular area instead of
the entire screen.

save it in your notepad/Ms Word and attach it along with
your mail and send it.

Answer / sirisha

During execution of a testcase when any error dialog is
appeared on the screen, we capture the absolute image
through 'PrintScreen' (keys) as an evidence of the raised
issue & this snapshot will be appended to the bug report for
developer analysis.

PrintScreen:: Selection gives image along with
TimeStamp,which helps developer to analyze through exact
timestamp from backend files if required.

Puzzles 1)Three geniuses stand in a file (one behind the other). Each can see only to the front, so the rear person can see the middle and the front, the middle person can see the front, and the genius in the front cannot see anyone. You have five hats. Two are white, and three are red. You blindfold the three geniuses, who are utterly truthful, and put a hat--at random-on the head of each. Then you hide the other two hats and remove the blindfolds. You then ask each genius to name the color of his hat (which he cannot see). The rear on says "I don't know." The middle on says, " I don't know." Then the front onw says, "I know." WHAT COLOR IS THE FRONT GENIUS' HAT? 2) one reasoning puzzle. 3) A monkey falls into a 30 ft well. Every day it climbs 3 ft up and falls 2 feet up. How many days will it take for it to jump out of the well.
