This article will explain:

  1. How to use the Applitools Eyes SDK for adding visual validation to your CodedUI tests.

Using the Applitools Eyes SDK involves 4 main steps:
1.       Create and config an Eyes object.
2.       Start a test.
3.       Add UI validation check points.
4.       Close the test.
 
The example below illustrates how to build a visual test with Microsoft CodedUI:
using Applitools;

        public void TestApplitoolsWebsite()
        {
            // Use your own api key here, make sure you use it in all your tests.
            Eyes.ApiKey = "your api key";
            Eyes.SetLogHandler(new StdoutLogHandler(true));
            var eyes = new Eyes();

            #region Variable Declarations
            BrowserWindow uIBlankPageWindowsInteWindow = 
                 this.UIBlankPageWindowsInteWindow;
            HtmlHyperlink uIFeaturesHyperlink = 
this.UIBlankPageWindowsInteWindow.UIApplitoolsVisualTestDocument.UIFeaturesCustom.UIFeaturesHyperlink;
            #endregion

            // Go to web page 'http://applitools.com/'
            UIBlankPageWindowsInteWindow.LaunchUrl(new 
            System.Uri(this.ApplitoolsMethodParams.UIBlankPageWindowsInteWindowUrl));

            try
            {
                // Start visual testing with browser viewport set to 1024x768.
                // Make sure to use the returned driver from this point on. 
	       // Note that the AUT must be launched before eyes.open command          
                eyes.Open(UIMap.UIBlankPageWindowsInteWindow, "Applitools", "Test Web   
                          Page", new System.Drawing.Size(1024, 768));
                // Visual validation point #1
                eyes.CheckWindow("Home Page");

                Mouse.Click(uIFeaturesHyperlink, new Point(25, 26));
                // Visual validation point #2
                eyes.CheckWindow("Features Page");

                // End visual testing. Validate visual correctness.
                eyes.Close();
            }
            finally
            {
                // Abort test in case of an unexpected error.
                eyes.AbortIfNotClosed();
            }
