How do I write automated tests for the UI of a Windows Phone 7 application?

Question

It is hard enough to drive a normal app var it’s UI, however when the app is not running on your development platform it is even harder.

So what tools will help me test the UI of a Windows Phone 7 application?

Answer 1

Expensify's (confusingly named) Windows Phone Test Framework supports UI automation. I've yet to use it on a project, but it looks promising.

Answer 2

I've not seen anyone release any tooling for this yet.

If you're going to try and write something yourself, you should have a look at this post on emulator automation and testing.
