Tools for automating SilverLight application

Question

I want to automate the application develoepd in silverlight. Can you let me know whether there are any open source tools are available which can be used for automating SilverLig

Answer 1

If you're looking to perform User Interface Automation (UIA) to simulate mouse clicks, keyboard presses, etc. there is no "easy" way to get this today.

I've seen some third party tools that may work, such as Telerik's. Note that I have not used and do not endorse this, just know it is out there!

Answer 2

We are doing UI testing on a Silverlight application using the UIAutomation API, and it works very nicely.

Project White is a library that sits on top of UIAutomation, and many people find it helpful. I prefer to use the UIAutomation APIs directly - it's really not as hard as you might think, as my tutorial shows.

Answer 3

I am currently trying out Project White and finding it quite easy to use.

Before using Project White I tried out WiPFlash which was also rather easy to use. It just lacked a few features that I was after (Right Click and Drag options).
