selenium components.
If we have a dedicated agent
machines with browser to run the
coded ui test with
out modifying the code.
For this i am using the system
variables. In each machine i will
create a system variable name:browser and
value is like "IE"
or "Chrome" or "Firefox"
ect
Ex: Agent-1 should run with IE browser
and Agent-2 should run
with Chrome browser...

Setting
Environment Variables for Coded UI
Create environment
variable on each agent machine and set its value
as the desired browser name
(IE8/IE9/Chrome/Firefox) against which
you want to run your automated tests.
1.Go
to “My Computer” Right click and select “Properties”
2.Click
on “Advance System Settings”
3.Go
to “Advance Tab” and the click on “Environment Variables”
4.Under
“system variables” section click on “New”
5.Give
the “Variable Name” and “Variable Value”
6.Click
on “ok” and again click on “ok” and again click on “ok”.
7.Create
a Test Initialize method and read the value of the environment variable before
test starts on each agent machine.
This will return the name of the browser
that needs to be used
for playing back automation.
String browser;
[TestInitialize]
public void Init()
{
browser = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LaunchBrowser");
}
8.Inside
your test method, set “BrowserWindow.CurrentBrowser”
value
as “browser” which holds the browser
name stored in
environment variable
Sample code…
[TestMethod]
public void CodedUITestMethod1()
{
BrowserWindow.CurrentBrowser = browser;
this.UIMap.RecordedMethod1();
this.UIMap.AssertMethod1();
}
Depending on the value stored in the environment variable, Coded UI launches the browser and runs the test against launched browser.
