Screenshots provide visual evidence of system states, security issues, or specific findings during testing. They are most appropriately captured right at the moment when a vulnerability is exploited or when an important finding is made, as they offer proof and context for the report that can help both technical and non-technical stakeholders understand the situation. Taking screenshots after changes have been made might not accurately reflect the state of the system at the time of testing or could miss critical information.
