Description

There are various tools around which help inspecting application that should be ui tested or automated. Some of them are:

  • VisualUIAVerify
  • Inspect
  • UISpy
  • and probably others Most of them are old and sometimes not very stable and (if open source), a code mess to maintain.

FlaUInspect is supposed to be a modern alternative, based on FlaUI.

On startup of FlaUInspect, you can choose if you want to use UIA2 or UIA3 ( see FAQ why you can't use both at the same time). You can use pre-built versions of FlaUInspect.UIA2 and FlaUInspect.UIA3 if you want to use a version of UIA.
