Hey,

Personally I would like to use one of these frameworks to automatically take screenshots of Conduit releases, but so far I'm stuck. I don't have enough time to compare all the available options, and don't want to waste time picking one that doesn't get anointed at a later date.

FYI -- Strongwind, by default, takes a screenshot after every action/expected result pair, so it could be used as an automated documentation tool.

Looking through the code I noticed that utils.takeScreenshot() took a shot of the root window, not of a specific window, which is what I would need (as conduit has ~1 config dialog per data provider).

Then there is other stuff like making this all work automatically and easily in xvfb so that I do not get dialogs popping up all over the show. Does strongwind do this? (actually never mind, I dont want to take this off topic)

Regards,

John

Best,
