I try to use WinAppDriver but It is not working properly. It has many issues in setup only. I did all installation correctly, but it is still showing bad capabilities error. https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver/issues/1848

Is there any alternative options available?

    Hello,

    WinAppDriver, Selenium and Appium are all automated UI testing tools.

    For Maui's automated UI testing on Windows, the official website provides a code repository using Appium and Nunit. You can refer to the following Microsoft blog and code examples.

    Best Regards,

    Alec Liu.
