UI Automation

01 Aug 2022, 10:43

I'm evaluating Noesis for a Unity project, and I was wondering about UI Automation. Currently Unity has none, as far as I can tell.

The purpose of UI Automation is, in this case, two-fold.
First and foremost is interfacing with the platform to ensure that screen readers work appropriately. My Unity project has an accessibility component to it, and I need screen readers to be able to identify the different parts of the UI. Second is interfacing with automated test suites. When the test suites can identify the UI (and activate parts of it) through code instead of through coordinates, it makes the tests a lot less brittle.

Now WPF basically has this built in - from the documentation:
WPF controls support UI Automation through a tree of peer classes that derive from AutomationPeer.
So if I wanted to use a screen reader with Noesis, how much does Noesis already support it?
