Course Overview
About Course
While Microsoft deprecated Coded UI in Visual Studio 2019 , it remains relevant for maintaining legacy UI automation workflows. This 40-hour training equips QA professionals and developers with deep expertise in Coded UI, alongside clear migration strategies to modern tools like Selenium, Appium, and WinAppDriver.
The journey begins by installing the Visual Studio Coded UI components and understanding its UI automation framework. Learners record user actions, dissect the generated UIMap, and explore best practices for script maintenance. Transitioning to code-driven tests, they manipulate UI objects via C# APIs and create robust assertion points to verify functionality across Web, WPF, and WinForms applications.
A focus on data-driven testing empowers testers to parameterize and manage workflows using external data, significantly increasing coverage. Playback customizations, exception handling, and debugger-based troubleshooting refine resilience. Advanced modules tackle real-world complexities: cross-browser, pop-ups, nested frames, and dynamic UI elements—ensuring scripts remain stable across varying environments.
Framework development rounds out the training: participants build reusable libraries, synchronize tests for continuous delivery, and integrate their suites into CI pipelines, preparing them for modern team workflows. A dedicated session addresses deprecation—signaling when and how to transition to open-source alternatives—complemented by hands-on migration planning.
The capstone project challenges teams to build a comprehensive automation solution: recording, scripting, verifying, debugging, data-driving, and CI-enabling a UI test suite. Peer code reviews and instructor feedback emulate professional environments.
By bridging legacy automation with future-readiness, this Coded UI Training ensures proficiency in maintaining existing test assets, while laying the groundwork for seamless migration. Graduates emerge ready to manage, optimize, and transition UI automation workflows in enterprise setups—armed with best-in-class practices and legacy tool mastery.
