All you need is to create a CodedUI Data-driven Test.

In the DataSource attribut set the DataAccessMethod as DataAccessMethod.Sequential so your test will read all data rows and execute them in the their order one at the time.

You also need to use the DeploymentAttribute so your xml file will be deployed to the output folder.

Example:

[DeploymentItem("data.xml")]
[DataSource("Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.DataSource.XML", "\\data.xml", "Iterations", DataAccessMethod.Sequential)]
[TestMethod]
public void CodedUITestMethod1()
{
    // To generate code for this test, select "Generate Code for 
    // Coded UI Test" from the shortcut menu and select one of 
    // the menu items.
    this.UIMap.AddTwoNumbersParams.TextInput1EditText = 
        TestContext.DataRow["Input1"].ToString();
    this.UIMap.AddTwoNumbersParams.TextInput2EditText = 
        TestContext.DataRow["Input2"].ToString();
    this.UIMap.AddTwoNumbers();

    this.UIMap.AssertforAddExpectedValues.TextAnswerEditText = 
        TestContext.DataRow["ExpectedResult"].ToString();
    this.UIMap.AssertforAdd();
}
