Selenium hub run - Screenshot transfer issue

[Mayukh Ghosh]

Hi,

   Following is my test infrastructure

1) Selenium hub hosted on VM with nodes on multiple VMs

2) The test run is triggered from a VM

3) As part of the test run, the screenshot is captured for every test step and transferred to the VM mentioned in Step(2). A test report is generated for every test case.

Issue being faced

- The test execution time is increased due to the transfer of the screenshots associated with every test step

Solution being looked for

- Reduce/Remove the impact of screenshot transfer time from the test execution time.

Solutions being explored

- Save screenshot to S3 - This might not be sufficient since our Grid infrastructure would be on the private cloud and not on AWS.
