## What it is
FlaUI is a .NET library for automated UI testing of Windows applications (Win32, WinForms, WPF, Store Apps), wrapping Microsoft's native UI Automation APIs (UIA2 and UIA3). It provides a clean, modern codebase as an alternative to TestStack.White and commercial tools.

## Use cases
- automate ui tests for wpf applications
- write gui tests for winforms apps in c#
- automate windows desktop application testing
- click buttons and read controls in another windows program
- replace teststack.white with a maintained ui automation library
- run end-to-end tests on windows store apps

## When to choose
- you need to automate or test Windows desktop UIs from .NET
- you want a free, open-source alternative to TestComplete, Ranorex, or CodedUI
- you need both UIA2 and UIA3 support with access to native objects

## When to avoid
- you are testing web applications rather than native Windows apps
- you need cross-platform UI automation (macOS/Linux)
- your team does not use .NET/C#

## Facets
- artifact type: library
