Step 7: Test Your Application (UAC)

Step Seven: Test Your Application

Next, you will need to test your redesigned or new application for application compatibility with the Standard User Analyzer. A procedure detailing this process was described earlier in this document in the Test Your Application for UAC Compatibility section.

Use the following workflow to test your application.

To test your application for final UAC compatibility

  1. Test the application with the Standard User Analyzer tool.

  2. Log on to a Windows Vista® computer as an administrator in Admin Approval Mode and run your program. Ensure that you test all functionality and note the user experience. File any elevation or user interface bugs accordingly.

  3. Log on to a Windows Vista computer as a standard user and run your program. Ensure that you test all functionality and note any differences or failures in the standard user experience in comparison to the administrator in Admin Approval Mode user experience. Record any elevation and user experience problems accordingly.
