How to build Coded UI projects

Question

Hi,

We have used Coded UI for our Test Automation and have lot of Coded UI projects as part of our test suite. Now we want to generate regular builds for this test suite. We are using Perforce as our source repository. I got to know that we can build Coded UI project without VS installed, but using MSBuild.exe.  How do I add this to my build tool chain and get the builds generated ?

Thanks in advance.

The basic requirement is that you need to install Test Agent to get the CUIT DLLs. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsautotest/thread/934a5fa4-7bed-45ed-aabc-d703e7c404a5

Hi Murali,

I would like to know if these Coded UI projects are managed by Microsoft Test Manager?
If they does then all the build action would be done by TFS, if not please refer to the following link about MSBuild.exe:
