This is going to sound very n00bish but this is a term I hear very often, but I've never actually learned what it is. What exactly is UI Test Automation and how do I utilize it with C++?
I'm going for a job interview soon at Microsoft for an SDET contract job for Xbox, but since I don't have a clear definition of what test automation is, I'm not feeling very confident. Now, I've had multiple test and QA jobs for Xbox, and I know how to use C++ very fluently and I'm also familiar with C# and JavaScript. I've also written code for the 360 console before and have coded all sorts of games, tools and stuff for Windows and MacOSX. This test automation thing doesn't sound intimidating in the least, but atm, I don't understand what exactly it's used for.
I tried googling, but since I'm in a bit of a rush today, I haven't had any real time to sit down and read any lengthy articles. Probably won't have any time to read anything (or even a chance) until tomorrow morning.
So, I feel confident with coding since I've been doing it so long, it's like second nature to me. I have all the experience requirements except UI Test Automation experience. Any pointers would be nice.
