I've been doing some automated UI testing using WinAppDriver.
Here's a simple base class I've been using for my tests that takes care of ensuring that the service app is running when the tests start.
If you're writing tests using WinAppDriver and are fed up with tests not running or false negatives when the exe isn't running and listening for requests, then check it out.
The check for it being installed is also useful when you first run on a new machine.
You may need to allow for untrusted PowerShell scripts or have VS running as an admin for everything to work.
