Answer 1

Hi MiHo,

Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.

Just to make this issue clearly, are you running a Coded UI test? Which specific app are you testing? Can you share us the detailed error message? You could open the test result in the Test Results Window.

In addition, if it is a coded UI test, maybe you could try to create a new coded UI test for it, and check whether any controls have any changings with the detailed error message.

Maybe you could try to enable tracing for the coded UI test to get more useful information, see “How To: Enable Tracing for “UI Test” Components”.

Reference:

Getting "The control is not available or not valid" exception on validation of a simple text control.

Have a nice weekend,
