Can I run Coded-UI Tests from Windows Froms Applications? Looking for a sample.
Thanks.
Of course you can - you can use mstest.exe command line application for running Coded UI Tests. You just need to write simple algorithm ensuring that correct parameters will be passed while launching mstest. For reference go here
You should have a look at NUnitForms that is a extension to NUnit.
Your NUnit tests can open a window and interact with the controls.
Your tests will automatically manipulate and verify the properties of
the gui. NUnitForms takes care of cleaning up your forms between
tests, detecting and handling modal dialog boxes, and verifying that
your expectations for the test are fulfilled.

Basically you will better off separating your logic completely from the UI , making your UI as thin as possible, and testing the logic separately .
You can find solution here for console application. You have to add additional references in order to work test in windows forms application or other project(I had to add reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.WindowsStoreUtility other than the listed refrences in the article). But as explained in this so answer it would be nice if you can use it in a project that is meant to use these assemblies.

I have a Console Application and a Library.
The Library contains the PropertyChangedNotificationInterceptor class and all the code to handle Property changes.
The Console Application has the properties that are supposed to trigger the Interceptor, but it doesn't trigger it.
I put the FodyWeavers.xml in both projects, so the Console Application is able to trigger it. As the Interceptor isn't part of the Console Application, it doesn't appear to use it.
Is it possible to make the IL work on the Console Application or is that a C#/Visual Studio limitation that I need to work around? If so, does anyone have a good workaround that has a low impact on the Console Application?
I am new to selenium and C sharp i somehow managed to write a code that does the unit testing of my application and creates a Extent Report with all my 7 test cases output Everything is working as expected The issue is i do not want every time to log into visual studio and run the selected test case Is there any way i can create a Windows application and make the test cases run with a click of a button
I have a total of 7 test cases and runs perfectly when running i select them all and run the selected tests, but i need not want to go there everytime , instead want to run it from some windows application.
If you have your tests in unit tests project, you can create a windows console app and add your test project as dependency to it.
Then you can create your test class objects in main function and call test methods.
using Test.Project.Namespace;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
TestClass testclass = new TestClass();
testclass.TestMethod1();
testclass.TestMethod2();
etc...
}
It can be improved in many ways but you got the idea.
I would suggest that you create a Windows batch file that triggers your automation. Since you are using NUnit, this should be pretty straightforward. You point it at your automation dlls, you can specify test categories, etc. Take a look at the docs and other resources on the web.
I am writing a unit test script for a Windows Forms application and one of my methods pops up a message box, but I don't want to click OK in between my unit tests. If I do so, it will break the automated unit testing concept.
I searched several posts, but unfortunately I couldn't find a solution for this issue. How can I fix it?
The problem I am facing is a unique one.. I have set up a testing suite for a windows app using LeanFT and NUnit. At this point, I have around 100 stable UI tests that I have automatically running nightly on a VM I have configured.
The problem is, I do not think there is an out of the box solution for running tests in parallel across multiple machines. When the tests are kicked off of TFS, they run on a single machine. What I want is for tests to be passed out 1 at a time to any available machine.
I know I can "fake" this in a sense by having two different build definitions run at the same time with a different set of tests, but this is not what I want to do. I want it to work like an actual grid and pass out tests like the selenium grid does. Has anyone had any luck with something like this by not faking it?
Note: we do not use Jenkins, we do everything out of TFS.
Have you looked at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/devops/2016/10/10/parallel-test-execution/ ?
Team Foundation Server does have 'build agents' like Jenkins does. While I'm not familiar with this, it appears to be close to what you are looking for.
Edit-And-Continue is one of my favorite debugging tools which I have previously used on C# based Winforms and ASP.NET projects. However, I'm running a Silverlight 3.0 application on VS 2008 and whenever I try to make a change (after breaking) it says "Changes are not allowed when debugging Silverlight applications". Also there isn't an "Enable Edit and Continue" option in the project settings.
Does anyone (possibly an insider) know when this feature will be supported by Microsoft???
(I NEED IT!)
I doubt it will ever be a feature, to be honest. EAC has always required you to attach directly to your .exe in order to work. In the case of Silverlight, that .exe is the browser, which is not the .exe you are developing.
If you are looking to edit XAML while running, you might consider a dynamic loading situation where you can refresh the control at runtime. In that case, you can edit XAML while debugging, but I'm afraid you're stuck with the managed code.
EDIT:
One possibility that you might consider (but I haven't tried it) is to write your code against unit tests. Then, there is a tool called TestDriven.net that allows you to debug your tests with EAC (as an advanced feature). From there, you might be able to do some EAC, but you will be doing it via unit tests, not actually in the Silverlight environment.
