Windows Phone 7 Market Place Test Kit

I’m starting a new project at work today to deliver MVVM guidance for the Windows Phone 7. This is going to be similar to the In the Box MVVM Training I did in Dec 2010.

One tool I’ll be using is the new Windows Phone Marketplace Test Kit.

From the above MSDN page:

The Windows Phone Marketplace Test Kit provides a suite of automated, monitored, and manual tests to help prepare your applications to be accepted in the Marketplace the first time you submit them. The test kit enables you to identify and fix issues prior to Marketplace submission, which saves time in the submission process. You can use the test kit to evaluate applications that target Windows Phone OS 7.1 or later.

To open the Marketplace Test Kit, select your Windows Phone 7.1 project in the Solution Explorer. Then from the Project menu select, Open Marketplace Test Kit.

The below tool will open allowing you to run a set of prepackaged tests and provides a UI to import the required images for your application.

Thanks go out to the Windows Phone team for shipping this.

Have a great day,

Just a grain of sand on the worlds beaches.
