是否可以将编码的UI测试仅用作UI自动化？

Question

Recently I have been doing a lot of coded UI testing in visual studio 2013. And then I got to wondering: Is it possible to write a coded UI test, not to test an application for stability/safety/proper behavior, but to just click through the Windows UI to perform a repetitive action?

I'm sure that there are other, less roundabout ways to automate actions on a Windows UI though, but I don't know where to start looking. Can I get some suggestions on what to look up?

You can execute your Coded UI Scripts with MSTEST.exe. On top of that you can create console application to execute test cases directly with a simple click on Batch Trigger.

refer sample code for main method in console app below

 static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Playback.Initialize();
            CodedUITests.CodedUITTest test = new CodedUITests.CodedUITTest();
            test.Testmethod1();
            Playback.Cleanup();
        }
