Hello,

I'm trying expect with winform application, do you have some
suggestions on how to use it?

Thanks,
Alessandro

Hello,

I have made some trials with White (http://white.codeplex.com).
Unfortunately, UI testing in winforms is a lot harder to do than web
if you want to have a maintainable test suite (meanwhile not using
record and play kind of tests). If you use custom controls in your
app, you will have to instrument them for Windows Automation API
(which White rely on). It's not that hard but a bit long to implement.
If you use standard winforms controls, it will be very easy.

I think I will provide an Expect extension for White in the near
future, as I did for WatiN.

Best regards

Guillaume
