I want to capture an image of a portion of the screen during the Record phase and compare it to the screen during the Playback phase. How do I do this?

Why do I want to do this? I want to test the Undo/Redo functionality of the AUT. I want to verify that if I move an object to several locations, undo/redo correctly positions the object. Is there a better way to verify this than an image comparison?

Hi!

Use Image Based Recording to validate if the image contains your expected part of the picture during runtime.
Please take a look to following screen cast for image based recording

If the object has an index, why you don't validate if the index of this object changed after the Undo/Redo action. Or even check the path of this item changed.
