在Visual Studio中使用Selenium C＃进行Web自动化测试与使用C＃进行桌面应用自动化测试有何相似之处？

Question

I started a training on Web Automation testing using Selenium C# in Visual Studio, I would like to know if the commands used here are similar to the ones for testing desktop apps in Visual Studio. Is it going to make it easier for me to learn automation for desktop apps after this training?

Answer 1

The concept remains the same. In Web automation you use html's id property to get ui elements and then manipulate them, on desktop(windows) you use Automation Id to get ui elements.

Answer 2

The first line of SeleniumHQ is Selenium automates browsers. That's it! It is not a tool to automate windows application. Selenium does not have any native support for non-browser application.
