The primary purpose of maintaining detailed notes and screenshots during a penetration test is to provide documented evidence of the identified vulnerabilities and their exploitation, which can later be used to produce accurate findings in the report. Complete and time-stamped documentation ensures test repeatability and may serve as a legal record of actions taken during the test.
