I'm looking for something like, in the Ruby on Rails world, "cucumber / capybara". I'm looking at SpecFlow[^] but was wondering what you use/recommend?
For those wondering what integration testing is, it's actually driving the UI to verify results on the screen. Contrast to unit tests, which verifies function results.

OK, got that.
Now, what's this word "testing" mean?

Testing: An activity that adds 50% to your development costs and is eventually considered a complete write-off because tests, like cars being driven off the dealer's lot, quickly lose their value as requirements change.

So, no point in doing it then. Thanks!
And I just wish I was joking...

We use TestStudio from Telerik. It's very good.

Yes SpecFlow is what exactly suits your case when you really want to perform integration testing of your ViewModels and simulate the UI driven kind of things. As far as I know , It's a highly recommended behavioral driven unit testing framework.
Thanks,

We use Ranorex[^ at work. It is a commercial product, but the functionality is worth paying, IMHO.

This time, not brought by the nice people at Astronomy Picture of the Day[^].
We have here a family portrait of Earth and Luna[^], backlit by the sun. The exposure was too short to catch any nightside lights. What we have instead is the atmosphere bending sunlight, much as we see on the surface: orange close to the horizon, edging up to a glorious blue. On the left is a slim crescent moon.
The page also has a small slide show of other stunning space images. Enjoy!

How do you think Software apps or services should be sold? For what they are and can do, or for what they could but don't do?
The marketer in our office is badly selling our new service; anytime anyone asks him about it he doesn't sell it on any of it's current features he always says something like "we realise it doesn't do this..." insert feature that no-one actually mentioned or asked about, "but we will be developing that in the near future."
To me it screams, "we know our product doesn't work at the moment so come back when it does.", which couldn't be further from the truth; it does exactly what it was designed for and briefed to do and does it well and should be sold on it's many merits.
You don't hear Sony advertising the PS4 saying, "We realise the graphics are a bit shoddy compared to reality and could be better and will be in the next version...buy the PS4".
Rant over.

To quote from the TV last night: "I'd break my foot before I stopped enjoying kicking him in the b*lls"
That's like saying "I know our new car can't swim underwater, but..."

Wow...
You're right. That person needs to understand how to demonstrate or speak about your software better.

Why is someone from marketing performing a sales job? And where's your product manager?

We're a small company and we perform many roles, the MD is very hands on which is sometimes a blessing sometimes a curse, so the marketing manager is the sales manager is the salesman.

Question is, is the product still selling?
It might seem bad to your ears, but does it seem bad to the customers?
Maybe the customer hears "It doesn't wash the dishes" and thinks "Wow! that must mean it does everything else!"
Sales people are often paid on a commission basis - so if his methods aren't selling, then I guess he won't be around for too long!

Actually the marketer is doing market research for you. That is their job.
As developers we think we know what customers need, but often we don't know enough about their business to really know what they need.
This person is gathering valuable data about what the customer really needs. Implement it and make your product valuable to the customer or ignore at your own peril.

45% for me.
I suspect preferring a piranha to a fluffy ickle bunny-wunny had something to do with that...
