Supported Controls and Actions

There are four levels of Microsoft Coded UI Test (CUIT) support:

1. Basic Record and Playback - Recorder identifies elements involved in an action via Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA).
2. Rich Property Validation - A set of properties are defined for each DevExpress control on which a user can add assertions.
3. Code Generation - Dedicated classes are generated for involved objects, making test methods more readable and maintainable.
4. Aggregated Actions - An action is recorded using aggregated methods, not using low-level methods (such as mouse clicks).

All DevExpress WinForms controls provide support for CUIT level 1. Products covered in the following table also maintain levels 2 and 3 of CUIT support. Level 4 of CUIT support is maintained by the majority of the controls listed in this table. Corresponding aggregated actions for these controls are shown in the last column.
