I'm trying to test out Visual Studio's automated testing capabilities for a web application and the Coded UI Test Builder looks like it might be promising.
I can get it to record and playback actions, but I can't figure out how to use the crosshairs button to create assertions.
For example, in this video the presenter starts a recording, then opens IE and is able to select different UI elements for assertions. When I do this however, the crosshairs get greyed out as soon as I open IE.
Do I need to install a plugin or some other tool to make the Coded UI Test Builder able to access the DOM?

Coded UI Test for automated UI-driven functional testing is deprecated. Visual Studio 2019 is the last version where Coded UI Test will be fully available.
Selenium IDE supports XML data sources. Coded UI Test supports any data source supported by.NET framework, which can come in the form of a. CSV file, XML file. It can also support any other data source like SQL Server table, Access table etc.
Coded UI (also called CUIT) is an automation testing tool provided by Microsoft technologies which helps in creating automated tests. The Coded UI tests help us verify the whole application such as User Interface and their functioning properties.
Ok, I think I figured it out. It looks like you have to pause the recording and then click "Generate Code" to get the crosshairs to be selectable. Then you create your assertion as a separate step and "Generate Code" for that.
I'm not sure if this is what your workflow is supposed to be, but it's working for me consistently.
