Notice:
This is a legacy framework, which is no longer maintained!

It has been replaced by the " WindowsAutomation-Plugin V2" for technical reasons The change was necessary due to changes in the Windows operating system, and features which were discontinued by Microsoft. The V2 plugin uses Microsoft's UI-Automation2 API to interact with the application. This API was not avaliable in Windows-XP, Vista and other older OS versions, and many features used by the previous version are no longer supported in newer OS versions, or need different parameters.

This is the WindowsAutomation-Plugin V1 documentation.

This expecco plugin provides facilities to automate tests incorporating applications with a GUI based on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). It also lets you access GUI components, to use and validate them in a test.

Features[Bearbeiten]

  • Automated GUI testing of WPF applications
  • Parallel remote test-execution on multiple systems
  • Performs tests against completely built and executable WPF applications. No source code changes / recompilation of the application is required
  • Access GUI components, using XPath-like locators.
  • Access objects of the application live at execution time.
  • Consists of an expecco block library and tools which help to model tests and inspect the GUI of the application

Installation and Connection[Bearbeiten]

The WindowsAutomation testing plugin uses a so called ".NET-Bridge" which consists of two parts: one side is a plugin for expecco, the other side is an .NET console application (the "WindowsAutomationApplication").

Requirements[Bearbeiten]

On the test executing machine.

  • .NET Framework 3.5 [1] or higher.
  • One of the following operation systems:
- Windows XP (with the Windows Automation API library [2])
- Windows Vista (with the Windows Automation API library [3])
- Windows 7
- Windows 8
- Windows 8.1
- Windows Server 2003 (with the Windows Automation API library [4])
- Windows Server 2008 (with the Windows Automation API library [5])
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows Server 2012 R2

Plugin Components[Bearbeiten]

The plugin consists of the following parts:

  • The GUI Browser, used to explore your application.
  • The WindowsAutomation Library, provides blocks that you can use in your test-cases.
  • The "WindowsAutomationApplication.exe" program, a separate program which provides an interface between the tested application and expecco.

Installing and Configuring the Plugin in Expecco[Bearbeiten]

The plugin is usually installed automatically by the installer; either included in the main expecco installation or provided as a separate installable add-on package. Its files are stored in the "plugin" subfolder of the expecco installation folder. You can also copy those files manually to that folder, if required. Expecco detects the plugin automatically during startup. So it may be required to restart any expecco session if you install the plugin later.

To interact with Windows applications, the plugin needs the "WindowsAutomationApplication.exe" program to be running on same machine were the tested application is running. Usually, this is the local machine, but it may be a remote machine or even multiple remote machines.

In any case, you have to ensure that this program is already running (via remote-execution, autoexec.bat, manually in a cmd-shell) when expecco uses WindowsAutomation actions.

On the local machine, expecco can start it automatically:
navigate to "Extras" → "Settings" → "Plugins" → "WindowsAutomation", and make sure the path of the "WindowsAutomationApplication.exe" is correct and that the "start" checkbox is selected.

Installing and Running the WindowsAutomationApplication.exe Program[Bearbeiten]

WindowsAutomationApplication.exe is a .NET console application. It uses the so called ".Net-Bridge" to connect to expecco. For remote host application access, copy the folder containing "WindowsAutomationApplication.exe" to the computer where the tested application runs. "WindowsAutomationApplication.exe" does not need any further installation.

To start the client manually and connect to expecco on the default port 9988, double click on the "WindowsAutomationApplication.exe" icon in the Windows explorer or run it in a cmd shell.

Arguments[Bearbeiten]

The GuiBrowser with and without the DevExpress extension.
Arguments Description
-port <int> The TCP-Port to run the connection on.
-mode <server/client> To start the .Net-Bridge as TCP-Server or to run as TCP-Client.
-keepAlive <true/false> To keep the .Net-Bridge alive for reconnect. (If started as Server only!)
-log <path> Path to write a logfile.

Additional Arguments for the WindowsAutomationApplication.DevExpress[Bearbeiten]

The WindowsAutomationApplication.DevExpress is an enhanced client application for the plugIn. It can be used to browse through applications build with DevExpress. To take benefit out of the extension you have to extend the applications you want to browse through.

Arguments Description
-extend <path> Path of an application within the .Net-VM to be shown with the DevExpress extension.
-extendDynamically <true/false> To work with dynamic GUI applications or save some performance.
-recordMap <path> Path to write an xMap for an extended application.
-map <path> Path of an xMap to extend the Browser with.


If you want to run the WindowsAutomationApplication on another TCP port you have to start the client using the command prompt, specifying the port number using the -port parameter.

  C:\Programme\exept\expecco\plugin\windowsAutomation\systemDLL\WindowsAutomationIDEClient>WindowsAutomationApplication.exe -port 9987

Settings[Bearbeiten]

Windows Automation settings dialog.

Open "Extras" → "Settings" → "Plugins" → "WindowsAutomation" to inspect or change the plugin settings. The settings are composed in four categories: connection settings, execution settings, recording settings and advanced settings.

For further information on connection settings please refer to the chapter "Installation and Connection".


The execution settings affect the way blocks are executed. You are able to decide how they respond to a failure while execution. Potentially an element they are trying to address is not properly constructed yet. If the check box "Retry Execution" is checked the delay time adjusted in the text box "Execution Timeout" will be applied and the execution will be repeated till an error appears.


In the recording settings you can select which devices you want to record. You have the choice between mouse, keyboard or both of them. The recording mode can be switched. Recording input devices is default and recommended. However you can use recording keycodes to record key combinations and hotkeys. Due to performance and stability issues the use of recording keycodes is not recommended if another recording mode can be used.

Another option is to record event based changes. Recording events is a higher level way of recording. Since handles have to been added to the windows only windows opened after recording was initialized are recorded properly. Events are a clean and simple way of recording if the application you want to record interaction with does support them.

Recording all events is not recommended since one user interaction might trigger few events.


The check box "Filter Windows GUI Elements" allows you to activate or deactivate a filter in the GUI Browser. If it is activated you just see windows belonging to applications. The menu bar, file system windows and temporarily shown windows for example tool tip windows are not displayed. If you activate "Show Warnings" unexpected events occurring during the connection will raise a warning message.

The check box "Update Top Elements" allows you to decide if new applications appear in the tree of the GUI Browser by themselves. Please be aware that the plugin might run smoother if this check box is unselected.

GUI Browser[Bearbeiten]

The GUI browser is used to explore a running WPF application. You can browse the application, inspect element properties and execute actions. See "Expecco GUI Tests Extension Reference/en" for details.

WindowsAutomation Library[Bearbeiten]

The Windows Automation library.

This library contains action blocks for all operations provided by the underlying automation API.

Import this library via expecco's "Import Library" menu-function. The GUI Browser will automatically import it, as required.
