• To make modifications to and build the test application (UIAutomationTest.exe), install Visual Studio. The test application is a WPF application developed with C#.
• If you want to edit Python with Visual Studio, Python Tools are required. They're part of Visual Studio 2017 installer, see details about what to select during installation: https://github.com/Microsoft/PTVS

• To install WhiteLibrary from source, in the root folder of the project run

local_install.cmd

• Open UIAutomationTest\UIAutomationTest.sln and build the solution in Visual Studio. This will create the SUT executable, UIAutomationTest\bin\Debug\UIAutomationTest.exe.

• To execute the test suite against SUT, in the root folder of the project run

robot --outputdir output --exclude no_ci --loglevel DEBUG:INFO atests

• To execute a single test case called "Example Test Case", run

robot --outputdir output --exclude no_ci --loglevel DEBUG:INFO -t "Example Test Case" atests

• The test suite tagged with no_ci will run tests against the old (Win32) version of Windows calculator, and is typically excluded from test runs.
