User Interface Testing with Microsoft Visual C#

Manually testing software with a complex user interface (UI) is time-consuming and expensive. Historically the development and maintenance costs associated with automating UI testing have been very high. Vijay Upadya presents a case study on the approaches and methodologies his Microsoft Visual C# test team adopted to answer the testing challenges that have plagued them for years. Vijay explains how the test team worked with developers to design high levels of testability into Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. These testability features enabled the test team to design a highly robust and effective test suite which completely bypasses the UI. Join Vijay to find out how they adopted data driven testing below the UI and achieved dramatic cost reductions in developing and maintaining their tests.
