Fantastic article on using WinAppDriver for desktop UI automation! The explanation of its integration with modern and legacy technologies is spot on.
I’m an engineer at https://pornify.cc/, and I have a couple of questions:
How do you manage the test execution speed when working with a large number of UI elements?
Are there any strategies to improve test reliability when dealing with dynamically changing UI components?
Thanks for the insights!
This was a really insightful read—thank you for shedding light on the current state of desktop UI test automation. That said, there’s clearly a growing concern in the community around whether WinAppDriver is still a viable tool, especially with so many recent updates in related platforms and frameworks.
Many of us are seeing compatibility issues with newer automation stacks, particularly when working with Windows 11. It would be helpful to get clarity from Microsoft on long-term support or possible transitions.
At https://www.free.marketing/, we’re closely following how automation tools evolve, especially as AI continues to influence testing workflows. We'd be happy to contribute to any ongoing discussions or initiatives around keeping these tools current.
Thanks again for the thoughtful post!
