A screenshot evidence policy standardizes which QA checkpoints to capture, naming conventions, masking rules, and retention schedules to ensure audit-ready compliance artifacts. It selects risk-justified states like requirement proofs and error states for deterministic capture.

Compliance screenshot evidence should capture risk-based checkpoints including requirement proofs, destructive-action before and after states, permission differences, error states, and defect evidence. These checkpoint screenshots must be linked to case IDs and PRs for audit traceability.

Masking sensitive data in QA screenshots requires mandatory block-out redaction before storage. The screenshot evidence policy enforces pre-storage redaction rules and tenant-access controls to prevent cross-tenant data leakage in compliance archives and test artifacts.

Yes, a single screenshot evidence policy can cover manual QA, clickthrough sessions, automated Playwright failure artifacts, and compliance review. It applies deterministic naming conventions, metadata standards, and retention rules across all release and audit workflows.

The best way to name and store test evidence screenshots is using deterministic, sortable naming patterns with required metadata linked to case IDs and PRs. This ensures audit traceability and closeout reporting across release and compliance workflows.

QA screenshot retention duration depends on evidence type classification. The screenshot evidence policy sets retention schedules by categorizing screenshots from manual testing, defect evidence, and compliance archives to meet audit and closeout reporting requirements.
