Hi All,

Can we automate chrome OS desktop UI using Tast Framework?

Also which programming language is to be used to develop test script in Tast framework?

Please share the reference documents to check on UI automation in Tast Framework?

Thanks,
Sudheer

+chromium-os-dev@, which is the right list for Chrome OS questions. Tast is written in Go, and its documentation is linked from its README. However, you should be aware that Tast doesn't run on standard Chrome OS images — I believe the device has to have a test image on it, which is not secure for day-to-day use.

One more indirection:
+tast-users
-BCC other lists

(chromium-dev@ to BCC; keeping chromium-os-dev@ since the underlying question might not be relevant to Tast.)

It depends what you want to automate. Chrome extensions can do quite a bit (such as arranging windows, for example).
 
Also where can I get chrome OS test image? 

You'd have to build one yourself — the developer guide has instructions if you're interested.
