    Silverlight Application UI Test Automation

    I have been looking at Silverlight lately and have been investigating how to create UI test automation for Silverlight applications. As far as I can tell so far, it looks like there are two main approaches. First, you can use the Microsoft UI Automation (MUIA) library to create C#, shell-based test automation. A second approach is to use JavaScript-to-Silverlight interoperability and create browser-based test automation. I haven't tried ether approach but I'm fairly confident I could work out the details. A third possibility is to somehow use Silverlight technology to create UI test automation for a Silverlight application. I'm not sure how this would work, or if the technique is even possible, but the idea sounds interesting.
