Azure GUIX automated testing

Question

Can one implement automated UI testing for any UI designed using Azure GUIX? I came across an earlier post asking the same question.

Azure GUIX automated testing specifically for languages

I searched for Azure Test Harness but could not find much on it. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

We have added a string-fit test in GUIX Studio for the 6.1.9.1 patch release, under Edit -> Run String Fit Test. This release has been pushed to the App Store and will be rolling out over the next couple of days. This tests to insure every string in every language fits within the assigned widgets. Of course you can assign and re-assign strings at runtime, so Studio can't test for that, only the know assignments of widgets and fonts can be statically tested by GUIX Studio.

For our own internal regression testing, we build our test apps as Win32 apps and write python scripts to generate events into those apps to drive them. We do md5sum calculations of the canvas memory and compare the computed value with "golden values" to insure nothing has been broken. We haven't yet instrumented anything similar to support on-target regression testing but we have this feature in our backlog, I will see if we can get this on the priority list for the next release.
