Efficient application solutions in UI automation testing
The following best practices are recommended when using Windows-MCP for UI testing.
- test scheduling: Record basic test cases (e.g., login→navigation→functional operations), and then batch playback and record exceptions.
- state capture: Use the window capture function to establish an interface reference frame and automatically compare differences in subsequent tests.
- Exception handling: Automatically trigger a retry or log a timeout exception when the operation delay exceeds the 2.3 second threshold
- visual verification: Enable visual modes for key UI elements and verify actual display with image recognition
- data-driven: Externalize test data (e.g., username/password) into a CSV file that can be dynamically read by LLM to perform parameterized tests.
- Analysis of results: Automatically collect operation logs, screenshots and error messages to generate visual test reports
With this approach, the testing process, which would otherwise require manual clicks, can be fully automated, significantly improving test coverage and regression efficiency.
