[WayBack] Top 45 Best Automation Testing Tools Ultimate List • Test Automation Made Easy: Tools, Tips & Training Awesomeness A few notes, partially related to Enable your device for development – UWP app developer | Microsoft Docs.
One research project I had a while ago, was to see how it was possible to use a generic testing tool like Katalon Studio (that can test many platforms), for testing Windows applications.
Katalon uses a Selenium interface that normally is used for web applications through the [WayBack] WebDriver protocol (formerly [WayBack] JsonWireProtocol) that continues to be updated: [WayBack] draft upcoming WebDriver protocol, which is more generic than just web applications:
Adding the WebDriver protocol was basically the biggest change between Selenium 1.0 and Selenium 2.0: [WayBack] Selenium WebDriver
WebDriver is a remote control interface that enables introspection and control of user agents. It provides a platform- and language-neutral wire protocol as a way for out-of-process programs to remotely instruct the behavior of web browsers.
Mor information on WebDriver at [WayBack] GitHub – w3c/webdriver: Remote control interface that enables introspection and control of user agents.
WinAppDriver is at [WayBack] GitHub – Microsoft/WinAppDriver: Windows Application Driver
Finding your way is not easy, as for instance “SetCapabilities” “WinAppDriver” – Google Search returns hardly anything, it af all useful.
By now I know that should have been “SetCapability” “WinAppDriver” – Google Search, which for a word-blind person like me, looks identical, but is not.
A few notes if you want to go the same way:
Of course this is not the only way to test applications; for alternatives (including commercial ones):
