Cache device screenshots for a sequence of screen analysis commands

All visual analysis commands require the system to retrieve a digital screenshot (in real-time) from the device. This device screenshot image transfer takes its time depending on the device screen resolution.

Scenario: Your script includes consecutive checkpoint or find commands (validation points).

System default behavior: The system will use the same screenshot taken for the first command instance, for all the preceding commands. 

Exceptions:

• If the commands have a timeout, greater than zero, the cached screenshot is not used.
• If the commands use scrolling, the cached screenshot is not used.

The cached image becomes invalid in the following cases:

• After 15 seconds* from the time the cached screenshot was taken.
  *This invalidation time is configurable in system-level and also in the template level.
• There was some operation performed (in Interactive or Automation) by the user that may change the screen (For example Press key, Touch, or Wait).

When the cached screenshot becomes invalid, it is not used anymore and the next analysis is performed on a new screenshot.
