Screenshot recording

TestArchitect currently provides two ways of capturing screenshots:

Generic WebDriver (GWD) capturing (webdriver mode = on): capture the screenshot using webdriver method.
Physical capturing (webdriver mode = off): capture the screenshot using physical method.

Generally, both ways support your screen capturing but the processing method and output result(s) are different. You can see the comparison below:
