+# UI tests framework
+
+ A specialized UI test framework for PowerToys that makes it easy to write UI tests for PowerToys modules or settings. Let's start writing UI tests!
+
+## Before running tests  
+
+- Install Windows Application Driver v1.2.1 from https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver/releases/tag/v1.2.1 to the default directory (`C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Application Driver`)
+
+- Enable Developer Mode in Windows settings
+
+## Running tests
+
+- Exit PowerToys if it's running.
+
+- Open `PowerToys.sln` in Visual Studio and build the solution.
+
+- Run tests in the Test Explorer (`Test > Test Explorer` or `Ctrl+E, T`).
+
+
+## How to add the first UI tests for your modules
+
+- Create a new project and add the following references to the project file. Change the OutputPath to your own module's path.
+  ```
+  	<PropertyGroup>
+  		<OutputType>Library</OutputType>
+  		<!-- This is a UI test, so don't run as part of MSBuild -->
+  		<RunVSTest>false</RunVSTest>
+  	</PropertyGroup>
+  
+  	<PropertyGroup>
+  		<OutputPath>..\..\..\..\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\tests\KeyboardManagerUITests\</OutputPath>
+  	</PropertyGroup>
+  
+  	<ItemGroup>
+  	    <PackageReference Include="MSTest" />
+  	    <ProjectReference Include="..\..\..\common\UITestAutomation\UITestAutomation.csproj" />
+  	    <Folder Include="Properties\" />
+	</ItemGroup>
+  ```
+- Inherit your test class from UITestBase.
+  >Set Scope: The default scope starts from the PowerToys settings UI. If you want to start from your own module, set the constructor as shown below:
+  
+  >Specify Scope:
+  ```
+  [TestClass]
+  public class RunFancyZonesTest : UITestBase
+  {
+      public RunFancyZonesTest()
+          : base(PowerToysModule.FancyZone)
+      {
+      }
+  }
+  ```
+
+- Then you can start using session to perform the UI operations.
+
+**Example**
+```
+using Microsoft.PowerToys.UITest;
+using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
+
+namespace UITests_KeyboardManager
+{
+    [TestClass]
+    public class RunKeyboardManagerUITests : UITestBase
+    {
+        [TestMethod]
+        public void OpenKeyboardManagerEditor()
+        {
+            // Open KeyboardManagerEditor
+            this.Session.Find<Button>(By.Name("Remap a key")).Click();
+            this.Session.Attach("Remap keys");
+
+            // Maximize window
+            var window = Session.Find<Window>(By.Name("Remap keys")).Maximize();
+
+            // Add Key Remapping
+            this.Session.Find<Button>(By.Name("Add key remapping")).Click();
+            window.Close();
+
+            // Back to Settings
+            this.Session.Attach(PowerToysModule.PowerToysSettings);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Extra tools and information
+
+ **Accessibility Tools**:
+While working on tests, you may need a tool that helps you to view the element's accessibility data, e.g. for finding the button to click. For this purpose, you could use [AccessibilityInsights](https://accessibilityinsights.io/docs/windows/overview)
