That is how I still think of the two types many years later, although I recognize that not many people in the industry use those terms. This allowed back door testing to call the engine to pro...

My first thought was to have a SharedStyles.xaml in the Shared folder, and a PlatformSpecificStyles.xaml in each Windows and WindowsPhone directory. Then in the App.xaml include first the shared files followed by the specific files. Someth...However, it turns...

Saturday, July 26, 2014. Web UI Testing Part 4: Extension methods in Page Object Model. When I started my next project I switched from WatiN to Selenium, and I incorporated the PageObjectModel.
