Coded UI Tests: Tutorials

When I started working on Automation, my first tool was Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 in which Microsoft has provided an excellent platform for functional testing which is called Coded UI Test.

Before working on this tool, I learned about it from my good teacher THE INTERNET and my teacher has provided me valuable information about how to use it. So I thought to share the most useful links here.

Here is the list of links:
