Legerity is an automated UI testing framework for building maintainable tests quickly for Windows, Android, iOS, and Web applications with C#/.NET.

It simplifies the development by providing easy-to-use element wrappers for native app controls that allow developers to quickly get up and running with UI tests in no time.

Legerity also provides a best practice page object pattern for building UI tests with a maintainable structure. Together with native app control wrappers, Legerity provides the best experience for building maintainable UI automation with speed.

Features ⭐

  • AppManager - A wrapper around the Selenium WebDriver and Appium WebDrivers to simplify starting your UI tests. Supports running a single set of UI tests across multiple platforms, or browsers.
  • Page Object Pattern - Provides a BasePage that can be used to create page objects associated with pages in your application that are easy to implement and maintain.
  • Page Object Generator - A dotnet CLI tool that will automatically create page objects by understanding your application page files!
  • Element Wrappers - Contains a collection of out-of-the-box wrappers for native UI elements that are easy to use with interactions.
  • Testing Frameworks - Legerity is agnostic of .NET testing frameworks (e.g. NUnit, xUnit, MSTest, etc.) so you can work with what you know.
  • CI - Legerity is also agnostic of host CI runner platforms (e.g. GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines, etc.) and can be run anywhere.
  • Extendable - Legerity.Windows, Legerity.Android, Legerity.IOS, Legerity.Web, Legerity.MADE, Legerity.Telerik.Uwp, Legerity.WCT, and Legerity.WinUI packages include out-of-the-box platform element wrappers for you to use. We also provide the Legerity.Core for you to extend your UI components too.

UI Automation tooling 🧰

When contributing to new element wrappers, we recommended using the Accessibility Insights tool. The tool is capable of inspecting and providing property values for Android, Web, and Windows applications.

Alternatively, you can use the Inspect.exe tool for Windows applications installed with the Windows SDKs. This is not recommended as the tool is considered legacy and can often cause oddities in UI when using.
