Release Test Checklist Migration Progress

Hosts File Editor UI-test migration progress

Refer to the release checklist for all manual tests.

Existing Manual Test-cases run by previous PowerToys owner

For existing manual test-cases, we will convert them to UI-Tests and run them in CI and Release pipeline

• Launch Host File Editor:
  • Verify the application exits if "Quit" is clicked on the initial warning. (HostsSettingTests.TestWarningDialog)
  • Launch Host File Editor again and click "Accept". The module should not close. (HostsSettingTests.TestWarningDialog)
  • Open the hosts file in an auto-refreshing editor and verify editor changes reach the file. (HostModuleTests.TestEntryTogglesAreAppliedToHostsFile)
  • Enable and disable lines and verify they are applied to the file. (HostModuleTests.TestEntryTogglesAreAppliedToHostsFile)
  • Add a new entry and verify it is applied. (HostModuleTests.TestEntryTogglesAreAppliedToHostsFile)
  • Add an entry with more than 9 hosts directly to the hosts file and verify it is split on loading and the teaching tip is shown. (HostModuleTests.TestTooManyHosts)
  • Try to filter for lines and verify you can find them. (HostModuleTests.TestFilterControl)
  • Click the "Open hosts file" button and verify it opens the hosts document in Notepad. (HostModuleTests.TestOpenHostsFileButtonOpensNotepad)
• Test the different settings and verify they are applied:
  • Launch as Administrator. The automated test verifies the admin shared-event route and elevated-agent save behavior, but a real non-elevated launch through UAC remains manual. (HostsSettingTests.TestOpenAsAdministrator)
  • Show a warning at startup. (HostsSettingTests.TestWarningDialog)
  • Additional lines position. (HostsSettingTests.TestAdditionalLinesPosition)

Additional UI-Tests cases

• Add manually an entry with more than 9 hosts and Add button should be disabled. (HostModuleTests.TestTooManyHosts)
• Add manually an entry with less or equal 9 hosts and Add button should be enabled. (HostModuleTests.TestTooManyHosts)
• Should show empty view if no entries. (HostModuleTests.TestEntryButtonsAndEmptyView)
• Add a new entry from both the empty-view link and toolbar button. (HostModuleTests.TestEntryButtonsAndEmptyView)
• Show save host file error if not run as Administrator. (HostModuleTests.TestErrorMessageWithNonAdminPermission)
