Coded UI Test: Why does application close after each test in Visual Studio 2012?
Nov 8, 2012Aditya_msft
Summary
This post addresses a bug in Visual Studio 2012 related to the `CloseOnPlaybackCleanup` flag in Coded UI Tests. Previously, the flag was not honored, causing applications to remain open after test completion. In VS 2012, the fix ensures the flag is respected, meaning applications will close by default after each test. To reuse an application instance across multiple tests, `CloseOnPlaybackCleanup` must be set to `false` for the `ApplicationUnderTest` or `BrowserWindow` object.
