WinForms app load tests

Question

I am looking for a way to find whether my winforms application will have good enough performance. I would like to simulate usage of several users and launch it for a day or two to see how it is performing.

Could you please advice me good frameworks or applications to perform such tests? Would Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate do the job?

Thanks in advance.

You can use the Microsoft Active Accessibility API, which comes for free with the SDK but is not open source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Active_Accessibility[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms697707.aspx[^].

The use of it for automated UI testing is discussed here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa348551.aspx[^].

I also found this article: http://www.code-magazine.com/articleprint.aspx?quickid=0810082&printmode=true[^].

You can consider using open-source Test Automation Framework available from CodePlex: http://uiautomationverify.codeplex.com/[^].

See also: http://acccheck.codeplex.com/discussions/40329[^].

Alternatively, you can consider looking at this list of open-source and proprietary UI testing tools: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_GUI_testing_tools[^].
