You will get a list of files with this book to help you try the examples properly. The following is an explanation on how to set up the environment to practice the automation examples against the applications under test.
Chapters 2 through 6, as well as Chapter 10, Tips and Tricks, revolve around the File Comparer WPF application. To configure this application environment, you need to:
- Run the
FC_DB-Database Scripts.sqlfiles in the SQL Management Studio. - Open the

- Edit the
ConnectionStringparameter inside theODCextension files. - Bind the pivot tables inside the excel workbook to these files as follows:
- The Execution Metrics for Last Run sheet to the
FC_DB-L-EMLR.odcfile - The Execution Metrics over Time sheet to the
FC_DB-MOT.odcfile - The Feature Coverage sheet to the
FC_DB-FC.odcfile - The Test Execution Duration sheet to the
