Microsoft VS2012 Coded UI Foundations

Course Description

This course provides a deep dive into functional test automation using Coded UI, the new Microsoft test type that allows testers to automate GUI testing. Students will create Coded UI tests by converting manual tests, recording with the Coded UI builder and enhance these automated scripts with parameters and checkpoints. The Coded UI tests will be examined and code added in the Visual Studio IDE. The UI Map is used and customized and tests are executed from Visual Studio and Microsoft Test Manager.
