## What it is
TestStack.White is a .NET framework for automating rich client applications built on Win32, WinForms, WPF, Silverlight, and SWT, providing an object-oriented API over Microsoft's UIAutomation library. The project is officially deprecated and unmaintained, with FlaUI recommended as its successor.

## Use cases
- automate windows desktop application ui tests
- write winforms ui tests in c#
- automate wpf application interactions
- drive rich client apps without proprietary scripting
- wrap microsoft uiautomation with a cleaner api

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy test suite already written against White
- you need to automate old Win32/WinForms/WPF apps on .NET Framework

## When to avoid
- starting a new UI automation project - use FlaUI instead
- you need UIA3, .NET Core, or modern Windows SDK support
- you expect bug fixes or community support

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: testing, e2e-testing
- domain: testing, desktop-applications, developer-tools, windows
- platform: windows, dotnet
- tags: ui-automation, deprecated, uiautomation, winforms, wpf, flaui-successor, desktop
