Bug Shooter - nice free screen capture tool

Posted by ClifNotes, July 2008, permalink Screen Capture

It's really nice to see an occasional new freebie pop up. I use screen capture tools almost every day and a good one is important to me. I tried Bug Shooter and I'm impressed with it so far. Perhaps the best feature is the ability to assign upload servers so that when you grab a clipping, you can send it quickly into the net. I can't say that the image editing tools built in are anything special, but they work well enough.

Be aware that it requires .NET 2.0 or better to run. That means it'll never be a portable app.

Other screen cap tools I recommend:

FastStoneCapture, ScreenshotCaptor

Quote from the website

Bug Shooting is a free screenshot utility that was developed for software testers who use bug tracking systems including FogBugz, Gemini, Ontime and BugTracker.NET. Screenshots can also be sent to Skype or a default E-Mail application (e.g., Outlook).

Since screenshots are frequently used to show system bugs or to reproduce the steps for a failed test, it is often very helpful to highlight, notate and/or crop areas of the screenshot. With Bug Shooting this can be done in a matter of seconds.
