Tips and tricks

A test can provide different results depending on whether first the browser window is opened or it's target resolution is defined.

First "open" then "resolution"

<test>
    <collect>
      ...
      <open/>
      <resolution width="1280" height="768"/>
      ...
      <screen/>
    </collect>
    ...
</test>

The screenshot taken during this test captures how the page looks like when the user opens the page using the default resolution and then switches to 1280x768px.

First "resolution" then "open"

<test>
    <collect>
      ...
      <resolution width="1280" height="768"/>
      <open/>
      ...
      <screen/>
    </collect>
    ...
</test>

The screenshot taken during this test captures how the page looks like when the user opens the page using the resolution 1280x768px from the very beginning.
