Automated UI Testing

Question

Hi, I am writing automated ui tests for my app using Xamarin UITest. It makes extensive use of the AutomationId property of controls to identity UI objects on the screen. This would be very useful for checking behaviors on the data grid. Is there any way to do this at present, or plans for the future?

Hi Christopher,As of now, DataGrid does
not have support for Accessibility. We have already considered your request as
a feature. We will implement this feature in any of our upcoming releases. At
the planning stage for every release cycle, we review all open features and
identify features for implementation based on specific parameters including
product vision, technological feasibility, and customer interest. We appreciate
your patience and understanding until then.Regards,Nirmalkumar

Any updates on this?  We recently implemented the SfDataGrid in our Android based Maui application and need to update the Appium UI automation to support the grid?
