Automated UI testing for Silverlight 4

Automated UI testing for Silverlight 4

Currently, Visual Studio 2010 SP1 has been released. You only need to install the Feature Pack 2 Patch package on this base to use the Coded UI Test to record the UI interface of Silverlight 4, and Playback your test case. Note that Feature Pack2 is useful for patching on the tested machine (MUT. Of course, you can install it on all machines.

Here we have a DLL file to note: Microsoft. VisualStudio. TestTools. UITest. Extension. SilverlightUIAutomationHelper. dll

This DLL is used to help the Coded UI Test identify the UI control of Silverlight 4. Note that it is referenced by the Silverlight program rather than the Test Project. Many friends may be confused at first.

The following is the recording result of BrowserWindow:

[GeneratedCode ("Coded UITest Builder", "10.0.40219.1")]
Public class UISilverlightApplicatiWindow: BrowserWindow
{

Public UISilverlightApplicatiWindow ()
{
# Region Search Criteria
This. SearchProperties [UITestControl. PropertyNames. Name] = "SilverlightApplication1 ";
This. SearchProperties [UITestControl. PropertyNames. ClassName] = "IEFrame ";
This. WindowTitles. Add ("SilverlightApplication1 ");
# Endregion
}

Public void LaunchUrl (System. Uri url)
{
This. CopyFrom (BrowserWindow. Launch (url ));
}

# Region Properties
Public UISilverlightApplicatiDocument
{
Get
{
If (this. mUISilverlightApplicatiDocument = null ))
{
This. mUISilverlightApplicatiDocument = new UISilverlightApplicatiDocument (this );
}
Return this. mUISilverlightApplicatiDocument;
}
}
# Endregion

# Region Fields
Private UISilverlightApplicatiDocument mUISilverlightApplicatiDocument;
# Endregion
}

The following is the HtmlDocument recording result:

[GeneratedCode ("Coded UITest Builder", "10.0.40219.1")]
Public class UISilverlightApplicatiDocument: HtmlDocument
{

Public UISilverlightApplicatiDocument (UITestControl searchLimitContainer ):

This. FilterProperties [HtmlDocument. PropertyNames. PageUrl] = "http: // localhost: 24805/WebSite2/SilverlightApplication1TestPage.html ";
This. WindowTitles. Add ("SilverlightApplication1 ");
# Endregion
}

# Region Properties
Public uisilverlightcontrolpolicane
{

}
Return this. muisilverlightcontrolpolicane;
}
}
# Endregion

# Region Fields

# Endregion
}

MainPage recording result of Silverlight:

[GeneratedCode ("Coded UITest Builder", "10.0.40219.1")]
Public class UIMainPageMainPage: SilverlightControl
{

Public UIMainPageMainPage (UITestControl searchLimitContainer ):
Base (searchLimitContainer)
{
# Region Search Criteria
This. SearchProperties [UITestControl. PropertyNames. ControlType] = "MainPage ";
This. WindowTitles. Add ("SilverlightApplication1 ");
# Endregion
}

# Region Properties
Public SilverlightText UITextBlockText
{
Get
{
If (this. mUITextBlockText = null ))
{
This. mUITextBlockText = new SilverlightText (this );
# Region Search Criteria
This. mUITextBlockText. SearchProperties [SilverlightText. PropertyNames. AutomationId] = "textBlock1 ";
This. mUITextBlockText. WindowTitles. Add ("SilverlightApplication1 ");
# Endregion
}
Return this. mUITextBlockText;
}
}
# Endregion

# Region Fields
Private SilverlightText mUITextBlockText;
# Endregion
}

In addition:

However, there is a problem here. For Data Mining spider, if the data source website uses silverlight but does not reference Microsoft. visual Studio. testTools. UITest. extension. silverlightUIAutomationHelper. dll, no matter whether it is data capture or Coded UI Test, there is no way to do it !!!

Can experts solve this problem?
