Alan,

When I was last working on an app with WPF I was trying to test the GUI layer by doing things like “press button” and verifying that the presenters got events.

I seem to remember that I had to add some methods to actually allow pressing buttons and selecting list items and so on – but it was simple enough and worked well enough for me to feel confident.

?

Of course, I was also running the whole thing to see that it was making visual sense.

?

I think it may be goodness to keep away from testing for visual aspects (your example of a medium-complex double list control…).

That way it’s easy to change the look-and-feel while still leaving the functionality.

?

So:

-????????? Just handle the events emitted from the GUI.

-????????? Make sure the GUI handles its responsibilities.

-????????? Inspect the GUI.
