Explore Visual Studio testing types, including unit, load, and performance testing, and learn to run a subset of cases in a specific order with results stored in a database.
Introduction to Coded UI Testing6:07
Explore coded UI testing in Visual Studio 2013, performing live UI tests, validating data entry and saves, and using record-playback or hand-coding across Windows forms, WPF, and web apps.
Coded UI Record and Playback14:40
Learn how to use coded UI record and playback in Visual Studio 2013, leverage the crosshair object spy, and generate code stored in a UI map for tests.
Understanding UIMaps in Coded UI Testing18:15
Explore how UI maps in coded UI testing identify windows and controls via search properties in Visual Studio, navigate the map hierarchy, and rely on auto-generated maps for Windows applications.
Adding Assertions in Coded UI Testing10:08
Learn how to add assertions in coded UI testing with Visual Studio 2013, targeting controls with the crosshair and verifying display text using equal and other comparers.
Data Driven Testing with Coded UI18:08
Learn data driven testing with coded UI by parametrizing tests using external data sources such as Excel, CSV, or databases, and linking data to UI elements and test context.
Search and Filter properties in Coded UI9:53
Identify user interface controls in coded ui testing using search and filter properties, including window and class name, leveraging parent controls to reliably locate elements in Visual Studio.
GetProperty and SetProperty in Coded UI4:56
Learn to use GetProperty and SetProperty in coded UI testing with Visual Studio, retrieving control properties like friendly name and existence checks to verify UI elements.

Hand coding in Coded UI Testing (Part a)15:50
Explore hand coding in coded UI testing with Visual Studio 2013, creating custom window and item window classes to replace brittle record and playback scripts and simplify test maintenance.
Hand coding in Coded UI Testing (Part b)15:25
Discover hand-coding in coded UI testing with Visual Studio, collapsing multiple controls into a single custom calculator window to dramatically reduce code while preserving reliable button interactions and results.
Hand coding Coded UI Test with UITestControl10:58
Learn hand-coded UI tests using UITestControl as the base for Windows controls, specify technology name and search properties, and balance strongly typed versus generic controls.
Getting all controls of application using UITestControlCollection class7:57
Master coded UI testing with Visual Studio 2013 by retrieving every control using UITestControlCollection, finding matches, and displaying control names and counts with LINQ in the console.
Record and playback of Web Application with Coded UI11:41
Learn to record and playback web UI tests with coded UI in Visual Studio 2013, then hand-code tests for a web app using Internet Explorer, custom controls, and data interactions.

Hand coding of Web Application with Coded UI17:52
Hand-code a web application test in coded UI by creating a custom method and managing a browser window and separate documents to type the username and click login.
Understanding why and how Parent-child relation works in Coded UI16:56
Explore why parent–child relationships matter in coded UI testing with Visual Studio 2013, contrasting quarterly testing with Selenium, and learn to model browser window, documents, and controls.
Creating custom reusable methods for controls17:49
Create reusable custom methods for UI controls in Visual Studio, parameterizing control type and search properties to perform text entry and clicks across edit boxes, text areas, and buttons.
Creating custom reusable methods for controls (Advanced)10:28
Leverage generics in C# to build custom reusable methods for controls, enabling strongly typed enter text and click operations in coded UI testing with Visual Studio 2013.
Working with existing browser, clearing cache and cookies in Coded UI11:19
Work with an existing browser in Coded UI by locating the browser window, co-locating with it, clearing cache and cookies, capturing images, and navigating back and forward.

Assertions in Coded UI Testing11:04
Explore how assertions in coded UI testing with Visual Studio compare expected and actual values, using equals, not equal, and contains to verify UI text.
Exception/Error handing in Coded UI Testing9:18
Handle exceptions in coded UI testing with try-catch wrappers to let tests continue when a control text changes. Differentiate control not found from control not available exceptions and add verification.
Types of Test Attributes in Coded UI Testing7:56
Explore types of test attributes in coded UI testing, including class initialize, test method, and class cleanup, and trace their execution flow in Visual Studio.
Running multiple test in specific order in Coded UI using ordered test6:13
Learn to run multiple coded UI tests in a defined order using Visual Studio's ordered test feature, enabling scenarios like login, settings, admin, and logout to execute in sequence.
Using TestContext to identify the state of Test in CUIT11:47
Use TestContext in coded UI testing with Visual Studio 2013 to read current and unit test outcomes and drive conditional screenshot capture in test cleanup.
Wait For Control in Coded UI Testing13:45
Learn to wait for a control in coded UI testing with Visual Studio 2013, using implicit and explicit waits and conditions such as enabled, exists, and not exists.
Cross Browser Testing with Coded UI Testing11:05
Learn to enable cross-browser testing in coded UI tests by installing selenium components for Visual Studio, then switch the current browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer) and run tests.
Data Driven Testing with Excel using CUIT (Part 1)16:58
Learn data driven testing with Excel as a data source for coded UI tests with CUIT in Visual Studio 2013. Build a custom Excel reader to parse data into a DataTable.
Data Driven Testing with Excel using CUIT (Part 2)17:23
Demonstrates data driven testing with Excel in CUIT by reading from a data table, storing into a custom class, and loading into a collection for efficient UI test data access.
Executing JavaScript in Coded UI9:30
Execute JavaScript in a browser window during coded UI testing, using the browser windows instance to run scripts and return results to the automation core, including counting controls with getElementsByTagName.
Creating HTML Report with Diagnostics12:24
Discover diagnostics and visual debugging in coded ui testing, drawing a blue highlight around the active control during playback and capturing diagnostic data.
