Screenshot Automation

If you’re a documentarian, you’ve probably added multiple screenshots to your docs. Isn’t it a good feeling when you know your docs are better with a pertinent and beautifully cropped .png file? However, isn’t it a drag when your screenshot becomes outdated within a couple of weeks? Retaking screenshots is a time-consuming and manual process, tracking down every change in your software’s UI. Ugh.

John Davenport from UserDocs is here to talk to us about Screenshot Automation: an easier and more efficient way to keep screenshots up to date. He will explain to us what screenshot automation is and then review/demo some tools and technology used in screenshot automation.
