records and potentially shorten execution time by adjusting how often automatic tests capture
screenshots.
* **[Managing automatic test screenshot settings](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/s7R699xH7H9s3O5vNPiTfA#atf-screenshot-modes)**   
  Capturing many screenshots can impair test performance. You can control which types of screenshots the system captures to minimize this effect.
* **[View transaction data for automated test results](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/3ZdF2ZAlTGwUT6jFry_Mmg)**   
  To help troubleshoot performance issues with automatic tests, you can inspect related records from the transactions log entry \[syslog_transaction\] table.
