I am looking for a good GUI testing framework/automation testing tool for windows forms based apps.
Can you recommend any ?
Rational Functional Tester (RFT) is designed by IBM as a commercial and best automation testing tool for 2022.
GUI Tools has three main components: A set of Standard Windows Controls that can be called from GAUSS, and which return the user input to that control back to GAUSS. A set of Standard Windows Dialogs that can be called from GAUSS, and which return the dialog results back to GAUSS. Custom GUIs.
What is GUI Automation Testing? GUI (Graphical User Interface) test automation is streamlining manual, tedious, and time-consuming graphical user interface tests with the aid of tools, scripts, and software to prepare automated test cases.
I have used White in the past with some success. It also has a White.NUnit component which that allows you to integrate your tests into NUnit.
When I used it, it was relatively easy to investigate the UI, get hold of buttons, menus, etc.., click them, and then verify that the correct things happened - all from C#. Combined with NUnit asserts, it enables you to verify the UI behaves as you expect. I did have some problems with some types of controls not working properly. It has moved on a bit since I last used it so you may have more luck with the latest version.
I've had good experience with AutomatedQA, although I've mainly used it for testing web apps rather than standalone Windows apps. It's much better value than most of the other commercial tools and has a good feature set and choice of scripting languages.
