- TestComplete tool supports all versions of Python. For more information on TestComplete versions, see TestComplete Installation steps.
- Java-based automation framework or libraries designed to work with WinAppDriver for automating Windows desktop applications. Such a combination could enable Java developers to create automation scripts or tests for Windows applications.
- Java environments supports LeanFT, which is used to test Java applications.
C#-WinAppDriver is a testing framework designed for automating Windows desktop applications using the C# programming language. C#-WinAppDriver.exe, the latest version, is compatible with Visual Studio versions 2017 and above. These tools work together to support the automation of Windows desktop applications using C# and Visual Studio as the development environment. - C#-FlaUI is a framework for automating Windows applications using C#. It is compatible with Visual Studio versions 2017 and above. You can use Visual Studio 2017, 2019, and any subsequent versions to develop and run tests using C#-FlaUI for Windows desktop applications.
