Asserting pixel data in bitmap is really the last resort. :-)

If possible, it's much better to do something vector-based. Either
export the shape or page into a metafile:

sw/qa/extras/layout/layout.cxx:2349

or you can also do something similar to export it to SVG.

Can you check if getting the document preview + asserting metafile
content would allow you to test your changes?

I think this approach is good if your code change affects what VCL
methods are used. (If your code change affects what is stored in the
document model, then it's better to assert the document model.)
