    We can automate CRM 2013 UI using CodedUI and any ui scenario can be automated which includes all the scenarios like Sitemap, Lookup, Datetime, Assign, Entity Navigation and related entities and also there is a way too to do Data Driven Testing as well as CSV or Excel or SQL database as source. If you could include CRM 2013 sdk to validate data and controls types that would be much better and easy. I could able to automate both CRM 2011 and CRM 2013 using single code base on condition CRM version 5 or 6. The only thing which I could not able to automate compared to CRM 2011 is CCA/CCD Vs USD.

    Coming to your question for automating the CRM webclient, use coded ui record and playback steps and pick out only the properties needed to indentify the controls and write your own custom code to make it more simple and effective. Because all the control of same types on CRM UI have same logic and placement , so make sense to have helper which can control each control type..

    sample code:

      switch (controlType)

                       {

                           //TextBox And TextArea

                           case AttributeTypeCode.String:

                               HtmlEdit crmtxtBox = new HtmlEdit(EntityWindow);

                               crmtxtBox.SearchProperties[HtmlEdit.PropertyNames.Id] = controlId + "_i";

                               crmtxtBox.SearchProperties[HtmlEdit.PropertyNames.Class] = "ms-crm-InlineInput";

                               crmtxtBox.WaitForControlExist();

                               if (crmtxtBox.Exists)

                               {

                                   crmtxtBox.SetText("Test Data");

                               }

                               break;

                           //Picklist

                           case AttributeTypeCode.Picklist:

                               div = new HtmlDiv(EntityWindow);

                               div.SearchProperties[HtmlDiv.PropertyNames.Id] = controlId;

                               div.FilterProperties[HtmlDiv.PropertyNames.Class] = "ms-crm-Inline-Chrome picklist";

                               div.FilterProperties["data-attributename"] = controlId;

                               div.FilterProperties["aria-describedby"] = controlId + "_c";

                             .........

                             ....

    Hi,

    I am trying to automate the CRM to save a new record. I have captured all the control in Designer.cs file. I just call the control in CodedUITest1.cs file and perform action on it (eg. Mouse.Click or Keyboard.Sendkeys). But when i click on save button it does not save the record.

    There is suggestion box JScript running on the controls on eventchange.

    What will be the solution for it.
