Coded UI Training

What is Automation Testing?
Automation Testing is a process where tester writes the scripts using automation tool and execute the scripts to test the product/Software/application by comparing the actual results with expected results.

Why going for Coded UI Automation Testing?
a. For Coded UI we can use Visual Studio IDE to write scripts.
b. Coded UI scripts can be executed using Visual Studio or by using Microsoft Test Manager (MTM).
c. For Coded UI we can write the script with Visual Studio with which we can use all object programming concepts if required.
d. Coded UI supports windows applications, web applications, WPF applications, Sharepoint applications, Client applications and CRM web client applications.
e. Coded UI offers support to any information source managed by .NET framework. Coded UI supports file formats of .csv, .xml or information sources like SQL server table, access table etc.

How much % of testing will be covered for Automation testing?
In automation testing, mostly the below conditioned test cases can only be automated:
a. Critical Scenarios test cases.
b. Repeated test cases.
c. Time consuming test cases.
d. Test cases which are difficult to perform manual test cases.
Considering the above situations 60-70 % of testing can be covered for automation testing. Also height, width and colours of controls in application/software/product can’t be tested.

Differences between VS2010, VS2012, 2013 and VS2015 with respect to Coded UI.

How many types of programming approaches available in coded UI?

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension;

What is the namespace to work on Web Controls?
Below the namespace to work on Web Controls in Coded UI
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting.HtmlControls;

What is Test Method in Coded UI?
In Coded UI, 1 TestMethod is same as 1 Test case.

What are Test Initialize and Test Cleanup Coded UI?
Test Initialize attribute is same as TestMethod which executes before a TestMethod by default. Browser launch, login functionality will be scripted in Test Initialize.
Test Clean Up attribute is same as TestMethod which executes after a TestMethod by default. Closing the browser, clearing cache, clearing cookies and log out functionality will be scripted in Test Clean Up.

What is Attribute Coded UI? And give some list of attributes?
[TestMethod] is an attribute before method in class and indicates the method should be executed to perform a test.
[DataSource(...)] is an attribute which is used for Data Driven Testing.
Like wise there are many attributes available in Coded UI:
[TestMethod]
[TestCleanup]
[TestInitialize]
[TestClass]
[AssemblyCleanup]

What is approach to perform mouse click operation?
using Click() method we can perform click operation on any control in Coded UI.
Total there are 10 Click() overload methods mentioned below:
Mouse.Click();
Mouse.Click(ModifierKeys modifierKeys);
Mouse.Click(MouseButtons button);
Mouse.Click(Point screenCoordinate);
Mouse.Click(UITestControl control);
Mouse.Click(UITestControl control, ModifierKeys modifierKeys);
Mouse.Click(UITestControl control, MouseButtons button);
Mouse.Click(UITestControl control, Point relativeCoordinate);
Mouse.Click(MouseButtons button, ModifierKeys modifierKeys, Point screenCoordinate);
Mouse.Click(UITestControl control, MouseButtons button, ModifierKeys modifierKeys, Point relativeCoordinate);

What is alternative approach to perform click operation(without Mouse.Click())?
Move the control on to ui element using Keyboard.SendKeys("{TAB}"); then use Keyboard.SendKeys("{ENTER}"); to perform click operation.

What are Search Properties and Filter Properties?
Search Properties are Mandatory (Primary) Properties which perform AND operation
Filter Properties are Secondary properties which perform OR operation

What is Search Configuration?
Refer the link http://software-testing-zone.info/coded-ui/search-configuration-in-coded-ui/

How many UI maps can be created in Coded UI?
Any number of UIMaps can be created in Coded UI.

How to access the new UI Map controls from another cs file?
Using Get and Set properties we can access the new UI Map controls in another cs files. Below the sample code.
public UIMap UIMap
{
get
{
if ((this.map == null))
{
this.map = new UIMap();
}
return this.map;
}
}
private UIMap map;

How many types of DDT available on Coded UI?
Data Driven Testing can be done in Coded UI using 5 Data Source types

Using CSV
using XML
using Excel
using SQL (http://software-testing-zone.info/coded-ui/data-driven-testing-using-sql-coded-ui/)
using Test case in TFS

What are the 4 major steps in DDT?
Below are the 4 major steps for DDT in Coded UI

Prepare the test data.

If working on CSV/XML/EXCEL, create respective file and add the test data.

If working on SQL/TFS directly add the test data to respective table/test case.

Add the Data Source Attribute.
Get the test data from file and map to respective control.

4. Right click on file, go to properties and change the Copy to Output Directory value to ‘Copy always’.

Refer link http://software-testing-zone.info/coded-ui/data-driven-testing-using-sql-coded-ui/ for DDT using SQL

Assertion and Uses?
Assertions is same as validations which helps to verify if the actual output is same as expected output.
Below are some important classes used in Coded UI
- Assert
- StringAssert
- AssertFailedException
- AssertInconclusiveException

Refer the link http://software-testing-zone.info/coded-ui/assertions-coded-ui/ for complete information of Assertions in Coded UI.

Why we are going assertions instead of If-Else?
When IF-Else is used and if test case fails still Coded UI passes the TestMethod, to overcome this issue Coded UI introduced Assertions.

Refer the link http://software-testing-zone.info/coded-ui/assertions-coded-ui/ for complete information of Assertions in Coded UI.

How many Assertions can be there in a Test Method?
There can be any number on Assertions.

Refer the link http://software-testing-zone.info/coded-ui/assertions-coded-ui/ for complete information of Assertions in Coded UI.

There are 3 Assertions Assert1, Assert2 and Assert3 and if Assert1 fails
Will Assert2 and Assert3 will get execute?
What to do to execute Assert2 and Assert3?
a. Assert2 and Assert3 won’t executes
b. To execute Assert2 and Assert3 use try-catch

Refer the link http://software-testing-zone.info/coded-ui/assertions-coded-ui/ for complete information of Assertions in Coded UI.

Difference between Assert.IsEqual() and Assert.AreSame()
Assert.IsEqual() refers to control value.
Assert.AreSame() refers to reference of the control.

Refer the link http://software-testing-zone.info/coded-ui/assertions-coded-ui/ for complete information of Assertions in Coded UI.

What is Synchronization?
Making sure that the speed of automation scripts execution should be in sync with application under test (AUT) response/speed.

Levels of Synchronization?
Two levels of Synchronization:
1. Test level Synchronization.
2. Statement level Synchronization

What are Conditional Statements in Synchronization?
Statements executes depending on some conditon. In coded UI there are 8 Conditional Statements
WaitForControlReady()
WaitForControlEnabled()
WaitForControlExist()
WaitForControlNotExist()
WaitForControlPropertyEqual()
WaitForControlPropertyNotEqual()
WaitForControlCondition()
WaitForCondition()

What are Unconditional Statements in Synchronization?
Statements executes without any conditon. In coded UI there is 1 Unconditional Statement
Playback.wait()

Explain WaitForControlEnabled, WaitForControlExist and WaitForControlReady
WaitForControlEnabled() – Waits for control to be enabled.
WaitForControlExist() – Waits for control to exist on UI.
WaitForControlReady() – Waits for the control to be ready to accept keyboard or mouse input.
