Coded UI

-          23% of our WPF controls are fully supported

-          27% of our WPF controls  are partially supported

-          50% of our WPF controls are not supported.

·         RadExpander, RadProgressBar, RadComboBox, RadMenu, RadContextMenu, RadMaskedTextBox, RadDataPager – supported

·         RadGridView – partially supported

o   Only simple scenarios can be played back correctly

o   Scenarios involving editing cannot be replayed correctly since the cells are located by their value

·         RadTreeListView – partially supported

o   Only simple scenarios can be played back correctly

·         RadDataFilter – partially  supported

o   Cannot replay scenarios where values are entered into the various TextBox controls

·         RadButtons - partially supported

o   RadDropDownButton is recognized as a Button, not as DropDownButton. The same is valid for RadSplitButton

·         RadTreeView - partially supported

o   The RadTreeView itself is not recognized, only the RadTreeViewItem

o   The checkboxes and lines are not recognized

o   In a DataBound scenario - the headers of the RadTreeViewItem are not recognized. Also, the images within the RadTreeView are not recognized. The support for the bound TreeView is quite limited, it is not possible to expand a bound TreeViewItem

o   In the LoadOnDemand scenarios the support for the UI Coded Tests is also quite low

·         Slider - partially OK. The ranged slider isn't handled properly.

·         RadNumericUpDown – partially supported

o   Value” property is not visible for Assertion(Although it is visible when using UI SPy)

·         RadWindow – partially supported

·         Chart, Gauge and Map are not supported, except for navigation and clicking on items ( items are not recognized but clicking is performed on some coordinates ), however, all items in the Chart area of RadChart – e.g. series items, axes, labels, etc. are not recognized. The same applies for all items in RadMap. As for RadGauge - only scale labels are recognized, but not the scale itself

We will be working on the Automation Peers for our controls during this Q3 but we cannot confirm that the Telerik SL controls will be fully supported in MS test center.

Actually, there may have been some misunderstanding. Yes,we said that the Coded UI tests are partially supported for the RadTreeView. But actually, this means that the RadTreeViewItems are recognized. Unfortunately, this is not sufficient for the expansion and selection that you need. 

 Have you checked our documentation? The third article is UI Automation support.

• Assume documentation talk about Microsoft UI Automation support, please correct ?
• Is this list updated for very last version of Telerik Release (i.e. Q3 Beta at the time of writing this) ? Where can I check the support document for particular version i.e. Q2 2011 SP1. [It may be very obvious to find the link but question is due to time constraints not being able to find with quick search]
• Is Telerik Team planning for full UI Automation Support (for Microsoft Coded UI Test) for RadGridView control ?

  Yes.

  We are updating the article every time the UI Automation support has been extended. Unfortunately we do not keep this article for specific old versions. Therefore we can assist you vie the support channel.
• Is Telerik Team planning for full UI Automation Support (for Microsoft Coded UI Test) for RadGridView control ?
  Yes, we are constantly working in this direction. Therefore, we will appreciate any feedback that can give us more details about your expectations and custom scenarios.
   

 During Q3 2011, we've been working on improving the Automation peers of our controls which are the most important condition for a successful Coded UI test but not the only one. Could you please test your scenario with our Q3 2011 Official Release or Q3 2011 SP and let us know if this issue is still reproducible? Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Hi Petar, Thank you for the reply for my posting.

I checked with my dev team and we are having Telerik 2011.3.1116.1040 version which we are thinking the Q3 official release.

But I want to confirm with you if this is the version you are talking about.    If we have the latest version, I am having issues with Coded UI tests on this latest version only.
I also evaluated Telerek Test tools which I felt one of the best Automation testing tools but, we have decided to use Coded UI tests only for my test automation.

I posted the issue in Microsoft Coded UI and please see the response in the below thread.

I want to know what kind of support you will provide if I get any issue with Coded UI Test. Can somebody look in to this issue by a webex meeting? As I cannot share the company confidential info with you if you need any files for resolving the issue. 

This is very is critical from testing point of view as I am unable record and play back the basic smoke tests

Thanks,
Srini

2. If "Yes”, I am still having problem with my Coded UI Tests even with the latest version of Telerik .
3. In our application, We are using Telerik Rad controls in different pages . 
4. I cannot share all my confidential information like sending sending xaml files or something like that
5. What kind of support can we expect from Telerik , Can we do a Webex  to resolve the issue if Telerik has to support Coded UI Test issue .
6. I posted the issue in Microsoft forums and they said this issues has to be resolved my Telerik only

When  I was evaluating Telerik Test Studio , I was getting quick response from this forum , Why I was not getting that response when I posted the issue for my Coded UI TEST with Telerik Controls

Till now I don't know who has to support this issue Microsoft or Telerik ?

I am getting problem with Telerik 2011.3.1116.1040 licensed version.

Here is the Test Scenario

I logged into Home page -

Patient records displayed in telerik radview control.
By default the focus is set to very first record and if we click on the 'View' button to navigate to next page , my coded ui test is working fine but when I select a any other record other than default focus record or double click on it , Coded UI test will fail

Once user is navigating to Patient info page  , all the records are displayed in a telerik radview control  ( again above issue will repeat here )
When you go to Final review page (Test results page ) , all the tests are displaying in tabbed format . 

By default focus is set for very first tab and the data is displayed again here in the telerik radview control   .
When you click on the grid or when you switch to different tab, the Coded UI Test will fail.

1. Whenever you get time, Can we go for quick webex? , in that way you will be finding the root cause of the issue very quickly and will be knowing the complexity of the issue. Our Project team also eagerly waiting for your reply.

Once again, We have already evaluated Telerik Test Studio which is best for our Silver light applications but unfortunately we have decided to stick with in Coded UI Test only which are built - in with MS Visual Studio 2010.  

Thanks,
Srini
