Ideas for Web site design automated testing

Howdy

I wanted to hear your ideas with automating web site design testing. At my company we have a publishing platform that end users can use to modify the live website. This platform uses certain template files that layout the design of the web pages in the web site. The main issue I have is that there is no point in using bitmap checkpoints since the website content can change from one day to another. What I'm looking for is a way to automate a use case such as: Verify that the layout of the web page follows the designed layout.

Any ideas?

It sounds like wiki...

I don't really understand the aim of your application testing with QTP. Do you aim to run this layout test everyday? Please let us know in detail and if possible let us know the site also.

hi

for instance take a look at this website

Here you can see that the website can change the language, so the texts and labels will change, also the embeded text in the pictures. Also the images and link text can change. Please check the attachment for the example of the required checks.
