Visual Studio 2008 Test Edition / WatiN

Question

I'm in the process of writing automated tests for our sites using Visual Studio Team System 2008 Developer edition and WatiN.

In the near future we want to get our testers set up with Visual Studio so they can start writing tests as well.

I need to confirm that Visual Studio 2008 Team System Test Edition will be suitable for our testers to: -

- Load our test framework solution from TFS
- Write and execute tests in C# that use WatiN
- Check code back in to TFS

This may seem like an obvious question but I want to be 100% sure before I recommend a particular flavour of VS to my boss for purchasing.

Many thanks,
James

Answer 1

Hello James,

As I know and after consulting with the experts on TFS, the question 1 and 3 could be achieved with VSTT2008. About question 2, as I know, yes, you could write and execute tests in C# that use WatiN.

For more information about the compatibility of WaitN, you may directly go to WaitN Support so you can get better and quicker response.

Thank you for your understanding.
