Desktop Applications

You are testing classical desktop applications or an integrated solution with a rich client experience? This page is for you.

Desktop Applications are more challenging than ever

As everybody goes mobile or web it is assumed that desktop applications are no problem anymore. But the opposite is the case. More than 90% of the business still use desktop applications for their daily business.
But with the web and mobile trends and the move to open source, desktop application had to become fancier and available on different platforms. And both make testing harder.

With scrolling & virtualization

A problem that always existed but became more prominent with web-styled user interfaces is scrolling. How do you automate scrolling today?
Or even worth, virtualization. How do you reach an element in as list that does not even exist yet? From a programming point of view, it is just a flag to enable virtualization. Which is good. But it breaks all testing tools that are out there today.

And different UI stacks on different platforms

Moving to open source does not mean, that your software becomes open source. But if your customers switch from Windows to Linux you must follow. For programmers, this task became easier with frameworks like Microsoft .net core that truly use the UI of the underlying operating system. But how does your test automation handle different platforms?

Do not give up and leverage Visual Testing for your success

With TestResults.io you can stand out of the crowed and test your applications like a human would test them. You do not rely on a specific technology stack anymore. If the application you test has a UI you can automate it, 100% guaranteed.

Visual Testing is not comparing screenshots. It is about enabling you to easily abstract your application into structured visuals that allow you to test any application within hours instead of weeks. No broken UIAutomation hooks, no partial testability.

While it is still not “it just works” it is the first time that you can make your automated testing really work. Faster and easier than any traditional approach like UIAutomation, known-framework deep links etc.
