Appium is an open source test automation framework that enables automating your applications on multiple platforms. Windows Application Driver (WinAppDriver) is a service to support UI Test Automation on Windows applications. It enables automating Telerik UI for WinForms controls as well.

Converter Tool

The Converter Tool helps to convert an application with the standard Microsoft Windows Forms controls to Telerik UI for WinForms by Progress counterparts. For example, System.Windows.Forms.Button will be converted to RadButton, DataGridView to RadGridView, and so on.

An easy-to-use wizard in Visual Studio takes you through the conversion process and allows you to select of variety of options. The tool scans all projects in your solution and converts the controls automatically.
