Free Visual Studio Installation for Test Automation and Development in C...

The first thing you need to install is a version of Microsoft Visual Studio IDE

We will need the visual studio to write scripts in C#.Net programing language which we’re going to use in this course. 

IDE means integrated development environment.

Microsoft VS community edition is a free set of software development tools

You may use a higher version of Visual Studio if you have the license.

Otherwise, Visual Studio community edition is sufficient for this course

Visual Studio community edition can be downloaded from the URL shown on screen: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/

Let me show you how. 

Once you download the VS community edition setup, run it and make sure you select the following options in the setup. 

.Net desktop development

Nuget package manager

Testing tools

Windows API

After installing Visual Studio, you’ll need to install Node.js and appium. 

We’ll do it in the next video
