My almost complete course on Coded-UI automation testing.

1. Automatic Testing using the Coded UI Framework
Lesson 6 – Manual Coding
Omer Karpas

2. Project Entities
 There are 3 types of entities to our project :
 Control Mapping.
 Implementation.
 Scenarios.

3. Control Mapping
 The control mapping file contains all the AUD
controls.
 Most of the controls are mapped in the controls file,
but not all, because some can only be detected in run
time.

4. Control Mapping
 Each class in the file is a single control mapping, or
else, when using it, we will get an exception (error).
 The file is like a family graph where each control has
its direct childes mapped in its class.
 All controls are children’s of the main program window
class.

5. Implementation
 The implementation file contains a single static class
that contains all the methods (Actions and
Verifications) that we want to run on the AUT.
 Examples:
 Open application.
 Click abc button.
 Set xyz textbox to “123”.

6. Scenarios (Test Cases)
 The Test Case file contains calls to methods from the
Implementation file, in a specific order to verify the
requested functionality.
 Example:
 Open the application.
 Click abc button.
 Verify Label text is “123”.

7. Creating the Project structure
 Right click on the Project and select “Add” -> “New
Folder”, and create 3 folders and change their names.

8. Creating the Project structure
 Right click on the Implementation folder and select
“Add” -> “Class…”, set a name for it and press “Add”.

9. Creating the Project structure
 Right click on the Controls folder and select “Add” ->
“Class…”, set a name for it and press “Add”.

10. Creating the Project structure
 Add the following lines to both class files at the top of them – in the Using
area:
 using System;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using System.Drawing;
 using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
 using System.Windows.Input;
 using System.Diagnostics;
 using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension;
 using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting;
 using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting.WinControls;
 using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
 using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting.WpfControls;
 using Keyboard = Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting.Keyboard;
 using Mouse = Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting.Mouse;

11. Creating the Project structure
 Add the following lines to the Implementation class:
 public Impelmentation()
 {
 }
 ApplicationUnderTest app = ApplicationUnderTest.Launch(@"C:Program Files
(x86)HBS26HBS.exe");
 Those lines are a default constructor and object of the
ApplicationUnderTest class that lunches the exact shown
path.

13. exercises
 Create a new Coded UI Project.
 Define the following abbreviations:
 KDT-
 AUT-
 VS-
 BB-
 GUI-
 VB-
 CUIT-
 TC-

14. exercises
 Write the 4 types of areas of the automation project,
and explain each one of them in your own words.
