Mapster VS FlaUI

🔴 [Mapster] A fast, fun and stimulating object to object Mapper! Mapster was designed to be efficient on both speed and memory. You could gain a 4x performance improvement whilst using only 1/3 of memory.

Mapster

Have you read this part in their documentation? https://github.com/MapsterMapper/Mapster/wiki/Data-types

Which is the main reason I don't use it anymore. I can still stand behind why it was created and what it was trying to solve. If you still want to use a mapper I would recommend Mapster as it supports source generation so you can see all code and it's references.

Gotta add a shoutout to Mapster which does pretty much the same thing also using source generation.

I highly recommend Mapster (https://github.com/MapsterMapper/Mapster)

We use Mapster coupled with FastExpressionCompiler and have been very happy with it.

Try Mapster

I hope I managed to convince you and proved the value of unit tests for mappings, so let's move on to the next example. We're going to use AutoMapper, but from a testing standpoint, the choice of mapper makes no difference. For instance, we can replace AutoMapper with Mapster and it won't affect our tests in any way. Moreover, the existing tests will indicate whether our mapping refactoring was successful or not, which is one of the points of having unit tests 🙂

If you are looking to automate this all through the GUI of each app involved then I suggest using FlaUI or some other wrapper around UIA

FlaUI

The best open-source library for writing UIA for native Windows desktop apps is FlaUI if you find the problem space interesting. I started learning about all types of UIA when I started at a company doing QA work. Now I worked on UIA because I learned from my experience how bad UIA support is in most applications, and I am disappointed that people who are disabled have that to look forward to, not to mention that if my hands were ever crushed or some other maiming were to occur, I would be depending on UIA as well. Since that realization, I have tried to get more developers interested in UI automation and its quality, not just because of its effect on others with disabilities but because it benefits anyone in our profession to have that safety.

Alternatively if you're into dotnet, FlaUI is amazing for automation and gives you a sane environment. I moved to it when I couldn't deal with AutoIT scripts anymore and it's everything I needed. https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI

I would suggest taking a look at FlaUI https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI

What comes to mind is something like this one: https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI I don't think it can do the "search image on screen" part. A smooth mouse movement is only a series of mouse teleports, so that should be coded relatively easy. If you really don't know where the image is on screen and it also does not have a id to search for then it will be a little harder I guess. Like making a screenshot and putting it into some image processing library? Probably there are easier solutions out there

Is it possible to control another program via code? This link says yes and the following is the successor of what they originally recommended: https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI.

If you're like me and have way too many tabs open and then get lost whenever you need to access that one tab quickly again, then this software might help you. It basically uses FlaUI to search for tabs in your browser instances and allows you to open the tab within a click. No need to manually click through all your browser instances. Kinda like the launchers everyone knows, just for browser tabs.
