Automate Silverlight Application using selenium

[Shanmugavel. C]

Hi all,

How to automate Silverlight Application using selenium?

I came to know some jar files Silvernium and Silvernium Fixtures are supporting silverlight application. But I understood something like 
If we want to automate silverlight app using selenium, we have to expose the silverlight web app code as [Scriptable] ie. we have to expose the methods and have to write extra methods for each control in web app to simulate the controls from selenium.

I don't know, this is correct or not? If anybody know any info, please share with me...

If so, like its mandatory to write generic functions(set / get for each control in app) which are used to simulate actions via JavaScript. 
In this way, if a product based company willing to automate then they will add extra functions(used for automation) as part of code while developing the application. The same scenario we can't expect from third party projects. 

No one clients will modify the applications code to support automation for the purpose of testing. Also we should not ask the same from client side. Already they are coming to reduce the testing time(in means of automation testing), so how they will modify their code which is part of development activities...

What you guys thinking about this? or I am wrong?
Any other considerations to automate Silverlight apps without writing extra functions and exposing them to access from Scripts?


Thanks...

Selenium is a framework that allows you to access only elements that
are exposed in the DOM; see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model
It has always been that and nothing more. No idea if this will change
in the future.
Silverlight, or Flash, or Java applets, or any other technology that
is generally unfriendly towards the web, that does not expose anything
in the DOM cannot be accessed using Selenium, because Selenium simply
cannot 'see" it. If you must use Selenium to automate these, you will
need to compile things into BOTH that will allow the two to interact.
If this is not possible (for whatever reason), you will need to select
a different tool.

Hi All & Shanmugavel,
I am also looking for an add-on of Selenium to automate SilverLight
application. Please let me also know if you find any solution for
this. My application is using Silverlight 4.
Is Silvenium supports Silverlight 4 ?

Any one, please share your experiences in automating silverlight
applications using selenium.

Thanks & Regards
Deepa

There is an thing, and add-on, tool, accessory that helps with testing silverlight using selenium.

I've actually had it working and have run through the unit tests for the project. It's called Silvernium.

It's not working for me right now. I believe it has something to do with some security software that has been installed on my work PC over the past couple of weeks. That's what brings me here this time.

We can use Microsoft's UI Automation Framework for automating Silverlight application.
