In this post, Sergey Barskiy discusses UI testing and test automation with StatLight framework.

In my last post I am going to cover the last two topics I set out to address.  The first topic is UI testing.  What unit test frameworks lack sometime is the actually UI testing.  What I mean by that is for example, click on a button, then see what happens.  In case of Silverlight, Silverlight framework itself has a number of helper classes to help us achieve this goal.  For example, ButtonAutomationPeer class allows us to drive button actions from within unit tests.  Also, Microsoft Silverlight unit testing framework allows developers to insert UI components onto unit testing surface.
