What Will You Learn
- What is UI test automation and why it matters.
- The automation lifecycle: test planning, design, development, execution, analysis.
- Understanding the Coded UI API: packages, classes, namespaces.
- Verifications / Checkpoints: what they are & how they are used.
- Object types and properties: identifying controls, drilling into parent/child relationships.
- Practical use of the Test Builder / Recorder in Visual Studio.
- Playback settings: speed, synchronization, wait-for conditions.
- Moving from recording to custom coding: using C# (or VB) to build UI tests manually.
- Structuring code: methods, classes, modules, reuse.
- What is data-driven testing and why it’s useful in UI automation.
- Designing tests to iterate over data sets, parameterize tests, use TestContext.
- Executing tests: in Visual Studio, via batch/ordered tests.
- Maintainability: how to write tests that survive UI changes.
