User Interface Accessibility and Test Automation for Silverlight Applications are very difficult. But it is very essential for Software industries to reduce test time, cost and man power. Now-a- days web applications are developed by new rich client technologies like Silverlight, JAVAFX, FLEX, etc. Silverlight is new.NET technology to develop rich interactive and attractive Internet applications. Testing these kinds of applications is not so easy to test. User Interface accessibility itself difficult because of Dot Net security and especially the User interface test automation is very difficult. Dot net 3.5 Framework Provides Automation Peer Accessibility class, using this we can develop test automation and User Interface Accessibility for Silverlight applications. Software test automation has the capability to decrease the overall cost of testing and improve software quality, but most testing organizations have not been able to achieve the full potential of test automation. Many groups that implement test automation programs run into a number of common pitfalls. These problems can lead to test automation plans being completely scrapped, with the tools purchased for test automation becoming expensive. Often teams continue their automation effort, burdened with huge costs in maintaining large suites of automated test scripts. This paper will first discuss some of the key benefits of software User Interface accessibility and test automation, and then examine the most common techniques used to implement software test automation Silverlight User Interface accessibility and Test Automation. We will then analyze some of the key reasons why test automation efforts fail to meet their potential. Finally, we will examine how using an AutomationID approach to User Interface accessibility and test automation can allow organizations to avoid the problems inherent in other approaches, and realize the benefits of test automation. We can fallow any testing approach to test Silverlight Applications. But AutomationID approach is the only best way to User Interface accessibility and test automation of Silverlight applications.
