Winium Tool: How to automate desktop applications using Selenium | Inviul

Originally, Selenium WebDriver meant for automation testing of web UI or simply GUI testing. Later on, different developers came and further implemented the WebDriver to achieve different purposes in testing for different applications and platforms. For example, Appium for Mobile Testing, Provar for Salesforce Testing and now Winium Tool for Desktop application testing. Today we are going to discuss the end to end way to perform desktop application testing by using Selenium and Winium tool.

What if we can't identify particular element using objectspy

Hi Avinash
Am trying to locate element in the desktop application using Inspect.exe and also UIAVerify but am facing some issue.
1. Some of the elements doesnt have id or name or class name. In that case how can I identify those elements.
2. Few elements have only automation id, I am trying to use this automation id like below

But it doesn't recognise element by id.
3. I am also trying to use xpath like below
It doesn't recognise the element by Xpath. Please let me know if this is a correct way to write XPath.

Avinash, the video was Superb. I have started using Winium with c# in Visual Studio for my desktop application. Could I use Page Object Model for Winium like Selinium?

I have tried your code and test it.

But it is not working for headless mode ( if another application is open or screen is lock ).

So sir please share the idea to resolve this issue.
