Can I run multi-threading for CUIT on single Application?

Question

Hi all,

I use CUIT from VS2010 Premium Edition, I aims to implement ~400-500 test methods based on one application. I have concern on the execution time if we run regression test (all 400-500 test methods) for one round...

Hence I want to ask can I do the following

1. start and login the application by single thread

2. multi thread to execute different test method list but on same target application

3. after all test method thread complete, trigger logout and close application step

*** I also have question, since CUIT treat the mouse and keyboard action, what's happen if for step 2 that we have multiple threads that testing application by CUIT

Thanks in advanced!

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

I did a research and find that the Coded UI Test is running in Single Thread Apartment (STA) mode of COM. In this mode, all the playback calls should happen from the TestMethod thread only.

Based on Rajeev's reply in this following thread, the MTA(multithreaded apartment) is not supported by Coded UI Test.
