coded-ui-tests

I've added Coded UI Tests to my ASP.NET MVC solution in Visual Studio 2013. I was dismayed to see how slowly the tests run; each page just sits there for up to a minute or more before the test machinery wakes up and starts filling in the form fields. After some experimentation (including turning off SmartMatch ), I've discovered that simply calling Playback.PlaybackSettings.WaitForReadyLevel = WaitForReadyLevel.Disabled; solves the problem. But, as expected, the test frequently fails because the UI thread isn't ready for the test machinery to interact with the controls on the form. Calling

I have to run Coded UI test remotely on a VM. I am using Mstest.exe to execute the test cases. Now when i run it , through Windows scheduler , it fails because it need "Active Desktop ". I read it a few places that we need to use test agent. But i dont want to configure test agent and test controller just to set "Active desktop", Is their something else that i can do ? Well there is no hard in setting up a test controler and a test agent, it is really easy and its the best way to go. You can find the installation guidelines here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd293551.aspx However,

I have attributes on certain tests that I ideally don't want to run on every build. Most of my tests are normal unit tests and I do want them to run on every build. So: how can I exclude a test by category or project type? For example, I'd like to exclude CodedUItests : [CodedUITest] public class SearchViewTests ...or exclude tests in a given TestCategory : [TestMethod] [TestCategory("Database Integration")] public void ContactRepositoryGetByIdWithIdExpectCorrectContact() I particularly want to exclude the coded UI tests as they disrupt my ability to continue working, whereas all the other

Problem: I am using FindMatchingControls() to create a Collection of rows in a WPF table. I have written a loop that will set the ComboBox in each row to a given value. The whole thing works sometimes but more often than not, FindMatchingControls() actually finds about half of the rows. How can I configure timeouts or change settings to make it find all 50 controls every time or perhaps to find the first 10 and then to find the next 10 etc? Background : I am testing a WPF window and on it, there's a table, each row in the table has a drop down list. There are 50 rows and in future there could

I have read that it is bad to edit the UIMap.Designer.cs file, however, I do not understand why. Per MSDN: "Do not modify the UIMap.designer.cs file directly. If you do this, the changes to the file will be overwritten." http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd380782.aspx Does anybody know what gets overwritten? Does this mean that if the UIMap.uitest file is edited after the Designer file, the designer file gets reversed? please help. The UIMap.designer.cs file is regenerated from the UIMap.uitest file after every edit (that is saved) to the UIMap.uitest file. There is a comment at the top
