In one QA cycle I used to dump screenshots into a folder, then spend 20 minutes renaming them so the reviewer could follow the steps. A small habit that helped: give each step a short ID first (LOGIN-01, CASE-03, etc.) and use the same ID in the test case, screenshot name, and defect ticket. If ForcePilot can carry t",

Creating the test data was only one part of the work. I still had to go through the test steps, take screenshots, keep evidence somewhere, and then put everything together at the end.\n\nSo I ended up building the next version around that.\nWhat you can do now\nTesting Sessions\n\nStart a session with a test case and its steps, or just start one without a test case when you're doing exploratory testing.\n\nScreenshots + evidence\n\nTake screenshots while you're testing, paste screenshots from the clipboard, and keep everything together in the same session.\n\nAutofill while testing\n\nUse saved recordings to fill Salesforce fields instead of entering the same setup data again.\n\nResume testing\n\nStop halfway through and come back later instead of starting everything again.\n\nFinish the session + export evidence\n\nWhen you're done, you can export the evidence as a Word document or as a ZIP containing the screenshots.\n\nEverything from 1.5 is still there too... recording field changes, replaying them, relative dates, picklists and multi-selects, retrying...",
