capture screen shots for test results?

Our QA team has always insisted that we capture screen shots when performing our test cases. I am wondering if this practice is something atypical or not. I personally detest having to do this mundane and brainless act.

Hi Jason,

I'm not sure if you're asking about taking screen shots during a test (if it fails, for example), or for manual testing; anyway, either of these scenarios I'm sure that it is not atypical and many teams do it. I understand that sometimes it might be frustrating, but some people think it is really helpful. I guess it's a matter of perspectives.

I am referring to manual tests. Where is the best place to place these screen shots within VSTS?

If you're using manual tests, then you could make use of our Word Manual tests and add the screen shots as you would in any Word Document.
