Manual Testing Of Windows 8 Metro Style Applications

  • Article

One of the nice new features in Microsoft Test Manager 2012 is the ability to conduct rich testing of Metro style applications running on Windows 8. When testing applications in this manner, Microsoft Test Manager will automatically capture rich diagnostics from the Windows 8 machine. This can include video of the tester interacting with the application, or a new rich action log which gets produced in HTML and shows "tap by tap" what the tester was doing leading up to the bug they encountered, making it easier for a developer to quickly understand the bug that the tester found and - most importantly - to get it fixed.

I recorded a video which illustrates this great new capability. I hope you will find it useful as you are building great Windows 8 applications!
