Questions tagged [coded-ui-tests]

Coded UI tests are automated User Interface tests that can be created with Visual Studio to test different kinds of user interfaces, allowing for verification of user application functionality.

Coded UI tests are automated user interface tests which can be created with Visual Studio starting from 2010 in each of the versions Ultimate and Premium, and starting in 2015 in Visual Studio Enterprise.

A Coded UI test can be used for the functional testing of the UI controls in Web, WPF, Silverlight and Windows Forms user interfaces.

Coded UI Test for automated UI-driven functional testing is deprecated. Visual Studio 2019 is the last version where Coded UI Test will be available.
