Winium for Desktop


Winium.Desktop is an open source test automation tool for automated testing of Windows application based on WinForms and WPF platforms.

Supported Platforms

• WinForms
• WPF

For Windows Phone 8.1 test automation tool see Windows Phone Driver. For Windows Phone 8 Silverlight test automation tool see Windows Phone Driver.

Why Winium?

You have Selenium WebDriver for testing of web apps, Appium for testing of iOS and Android apps. And now you have Selenium-based tools for testing of Windows apps too. What are some of the benefits? As said by Appium:

• You can write tests with your favorite dev tools using any WebDriver-compatible language such as Java, Objective-C, JavaScript with Node.js (in promise, callback or generator flavors), PHP, Python, Ruby, C#, Clojure, or Perl with the Selenium WebDriver API and language-specific client libraries.
• You can use any testing framework.

Requirements

• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1

Quick Start

1. Write your tests using you favorite language. In your tests use app desired capability to set path to tested app's exe file. Here is python example:

   # put it in setUp
   self.driver = webdriver.Remote(command_executor='http://localhost:9999',
                                  desired_capabilities={'app': 'C:\\testApp.exe',
                                                        'args': '-port 345'})
   # put it in test method body
   win = self.driver.find_element_by_id('WpfTestApplicationMainWindow')
   win.find_element_by_id('SetTextButton').click()
   assert 'CARAMBA' == self.driver.find_element_by_id('MyTextBox').text

2. Start Winium.Desktop.Driver.exe (download release from github or build it yourself)

3. Run your tests and watch the magic happening

How it works

Winium.Desktop.Driver implements Selenium Remote WebDriver and listens for JsonWireProtocol commands. It is responsible for automation of app under test using Winium.Cruciatus.
