Use the "problem step Recorder" to reproduce the operation steps

When we need to reproduce software problems to software developers or instruct others to use the software, we may need to record the screen to demonstrate our operations. There is an application named "problem step Recorder" in Windows 7. Program, You can cut each step into an image and automatically configure it with relevant text instructions.
To start the problem step recorder, click the START key, enter "PSR" in the search bar, and click "SRS" or "record steps to reproduce the problem" to start the recorder.

If you want to record an application running in administrator mode, the problem step Recorder also requires administrator permissions. You can choose to start as an administrator before running or click the lower triangle next to the rightmost question mark before recording and select "Run as administrator ".

Click "start record" and start recording. After that, the desktop is recorded every time you click the mouse, and detailed information about the application is recorded. Click "Stop record" to complete recording and save as a zip file. There is a Web page. After opening the page, you will see all the steps in the previous step, and the operated area will be highlighted.

In the last "other details" section, you can record the recording time, operating system information, operations in each step, and specific information about the application to be operated.

If you want to report an error message to a software developer, you can send the entire ZIP file or the MHT file to help the developer reproduce the problem. If you want to instruct others to operate the software, you can extract it to show the steps.
I personally think the advantage of this application is that it is easy to use. The last file generated is relatively small, and the file format is also quite common. It can be opened without using other software, automatically Generated web pages are easy to read, and the software is automatically included in the operating system, so that software developers can easily guide users to use it to report errors. The disadvantage is that the function is relatively simple and video recording is not supported. However, this tool is useful for general error reports.
