Let me explain this a bit clearer (it seems clear when I write it but when I see how you're understanding it I see how it doesn't make sense).
I am getting the results and storing them in objects and then comparing them. However, if there is a discrepancy between the results of the application and the web page, I want to be able to view a screenshot with both the application input/results and webpage input/results (that would only require splicing two images together). Given that the test is fluctuates in what prompts are available, there is no simple way to make sure that the data was entered as expected in both the webpage and application. A much easier way would be to view the screenshot which makes it clear if the tests were setup as expected, and if the discrepancy is actually do to an error in calculations as opposed to just some input not being done the same way.
This makes it sound very confusing and complicated, but I really don't feel like it is. If I still doesn't make sense, I ask you just to trust that I am 99% sure that screenshots are the easiest way to go and any alternative would be 50x more complicated then having an image with all the data input and results clearly visible.
Which leads me back to trying to splice the screenshots together..
Edit: Robert, your analogy made me laugh. My first experimenting with carpentry tools was trying to nail a screw into a block of wood when I was 4 or so.
