This document describes a Windows Phone Test Framework for UI testing on Windows Phone 7. It includes controls for automation via the AutomationPeer, keyboard and touch input simulation, and control of the emulator via CoreCon. The framework wraps these capabilities in Gherkin steps and provides examples of scripts for UI testing apps. It is available now via GitHub and NuGet and the author envisions expanding it to support additional platforms and capabilities.

4. Wrapped by Gherkin Steps
Automation Peer:
Then I enter "Hello World" into the control "TextBoxInput"
Touch/Keyboard:
Then I flick "RightToLeft"
CoreCon:
Given my app is clean installed and running
Steps are C#/NUnit - so write your own:
I get the recent transaction list for “fred” with password
“password”
