New has been released!
This is a major update with a lot of changes:
- Complete rewrite of the application
- New UI
- New features
- Much more stable
- Based on .NET 8
- Three separate versions for UIA2 and UIA3 and default with choosing on startup
To install FlaUInspect, either build it yourself or get the zip from the releases page here on GitHub (https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUInspect/releases).
There are various tools around which help inspecting application that should be ui tested or automated. Some of them are:
- VisualUIAVerify
- Inspect
- UISpy
- and probably others Most of them are old and sometimes not very stable and (if open source), a code mess to maintain.
FlaUInspect is supposed to be a modern alternative, based on FlaUI.
On startup of FlaUInspect, you can choose if you want to use UIA2 or UIA3 (see FAQ why you can't use both at the same time). You can use pre-built versions of FlaUInspect.UIA2 and FlaUInspect.UIA3 if you want to use a version of UIA.
