Hierarchy Change Check

Hello!

I'm wondering if there is a tool is or function that would allow test complete to compare the object Hierarchy of a process against a previous build of a process. Or how to make a keyword test that can do that.

Consider this scenario: A new build is made for the desktop application that I am testing. I want to be able to quickly check whether changes were made in the application that could effect the test scripts. Such as a button being moved or the name of a drop-down menu item being changed. Is there a way to check whether the object Hierarchy of a process has changed?

I'm looking at the Process Action Operations and it seems like there should be a way to do this. Maybe get the child count of the process and compare it to child count of the previous build? Maybe compare the dump file of the new build against a dump file of the previous build? Compare screen shots of the object browser?

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
