This training seminar demonstrates how to record tests run against various types of application user interfaces using Microsoft Visual Studio’s Coded UI Tests and how to replay them at any time. Additionally, we explore how to embed validations, either simple or elaborate, to ensure your application is producing the correct results. Learn how to improve the quality of your applications by having a repeatable set of Microsoft Coded UI Tests available to ensure defects don’t go unnoticed!

Run Manual Test with
Action Recording
Let VS 2013 Generate
Code from Recording
Start Manually
Use Action Recorder to
Record Actions
Use Action Recorder to
Add Validations

7. Running Automated Tests
• (Run from Visual Studio or MSTest.exe)
• Run from Microsoft Test Manager (MTM)
• Requires Associating code to Test Case
• Run as part of a Team Build
• Requires Build Agent to run in “Interactive Mode”
