+# UI tests framework
+
+ A specialized UI test framework for PowerToys that makes it easy to write UI tests for PowerToys modules or settings. Let's start writing UI tests!
+
+## Before running tests  
+
+- Install Windows Application Driver v1.2.1 from https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver/releases/tag/v1.2.1 to the default directory (`C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Application Driver`)
+
+- Enable Developer Mode in Windows settings
+
+## Running tests
+
+- Exit PowerToys if it's running.
+
+- Open `PowerToys.sln` in Visual Studio and build the solution.
+
+- Run tests in the Test Explorer (`Test > Test Explorer` or `Ctrl+E, T`).
+
+
+## How to add the first UI tests for your modules
+
+- Create a new project and add the following references to the project file. Change the OutputPath to your own module's path.
+  ```
+  	<PropertyGroup>
+  		<OutputType>Library</OutputType>
+  		<!-- This is a UI test, so don't run as part of MSBuild -->
+  		<RunVSTest>false</RunVSTest>
+  	</PropertyGroup>
+  
+  	<PropertyGroup>
+  		<OutputPath>..\..\..\..\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\tests\KeyboardManagerUITests\</OutputPath>
+  	</PropertyGroup>
+  
+  	<ItemGroup>
+  	    <PackageReference Include="MSTest" />
+  	    <ProjectReference Include="..\..\..\common\UITestAutomation\UITestAutomation.csproj" />
+  	    <Folder Include="Properties\" />
+	</ItemGroup>
+  ```
+- Inherit your test class from UITestBase.
+  >Set Scope: The default scope starts from the PowerToys settings UI. If you want to start from your own module, set the constructor as shown below:
+  
+  >Specify Scope:
+  ```
+  [TestClass]
+  public class RunFancyZonesTest : UITestBase
+  {
+      public RunFancyZonesTest()
+          : base(PowerToysModule.FancyZone)
+      {
+      }
+  }
+  ```
+
+- Then you can start using session to perform the UI operations.
+
+**Example**
+```
+using Microsoft.PowerToys.UITest;
+using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
+
+namespace UITests_KeyboardManager
+{
+    [TestClass]
+    public class RunKeyboardManagerUITests : UITestBase
+    {
+        [TestMethod]
+        public void OpenKeyboardManagerEditor()
+        {
+            // Open KeyboardManagerEditor
+            this.Session.Find<Button>(By.Name("Remap a key")).Click();
+            this.Session.Attach("Remap keys");
+
+            // Maximize window
+            var window = Session.Find<Window>(By.Name("Remap keys")).Maximize();
+
+            // Add Key Remapping
+            this.Session.Find<Button>(By.Name("Add key remapping")).Click();
+            window.Close();
+
+            // Back to Settings
+            this.Session.Attach(PowerToysModule.PowerToysSettings);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Extra tools and information
+
+ **Accessibility Tools**:
+While working on tests, you may need a tool that helps you to view the element's accessibility data, e.g. for finding the button to click. For this purpose, you could use [AccessibilityInsights](https://accessibilityinsights.io/docs/windows/overview)

 Some localization steps can only be done after the first pass by the localization team to provide the localized resources.
 In the PR that adds a new plugin, reference a new issue to track the work for fully enabling localization for the new plugin.

+# Create Fuzzing Tests in your .NET Code Project
+
+This document provides a step-by-step guide for integrating fuzzing tests into your .NET project.
+
+### Step1: Add a Fuzzing Test Project
+Create a new test project within your module folder. Ensure the project name follows the format *.FuzzTests*.
+
+### step2:  Add FuzzTests and OneFuzzConfig.json to your fuzzing test project
+Follow the instructions in [Fuzz.md](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/AdvancedPaste/AdvancedPaste.FuzzTests/Fuzz.md) from AdvancedPaste.FuzzTests to properly integrate fuzzing tests into your project.
+
+Configuring **OneFuzzConfig.json**:
+1. Update the dll, class, method, and FuzzingTargetBinaries field in the fuzzers list.
+2. Modify the AssignedTo field in the adoTemplate list.
+3. Set the jobNotificationEmail to your Microsoft email account.
+4. Update the projectName and targetName fields in the oneFuzzJobs list.
+5. Define job dependencies in the following directory:
+Example:
+```PowerToys\x64\Debug\tests\Hosts.FuzzTests\net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0```
+
+
+# step3: Configure the OneFuzz Pipeline
+Modify the patterns in the job steps within [job-fuzz.yml](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/.pipelines/v2/templates/job-fuzz.yml) to match your fuzzing project name.
+
+Example:
+```
+ - download: current
+        displayName: Download artifacts
+        artifact: $(ArtifactName)
+        patterns: |-
+          **/tests/Hosts.FuzzTests/**
+```
+
+
+# step4:  Submit OneFuzz Pipeline and Verify Results on the OneFuzz Platform 
+After executing the tests, check your email for the job link. Click the link to review the fuzzing test results.

-     * DragDropStep02: MachineY: Send an message to the MachineX to ask it to check if it is
-     *                           doing drag/drop
-     * DragDropStep03: MachineX: Got explorerDragDrop, send WM_CHECK_EXPLORER_DRAG_DROP to its mainForm
-     * DragDropStep04: MachineX: Show Mouse Without Borders Helper form at mouse cursor to get DragEnter event.
-     * DragDropStepXX: MachineX: Mouse Without Borders Helper: Called by DragEnter, check if dragging a single file,
-     *                           remember the file (set as its window caption)
-     * DragDropStep05: MachineX: Get the file name from Mouse Without Borders Helper, hide Mouse Without Borders Helper window
-     * DragDropStep06: MachineX: Broadcast a message saying that it has some drag file.
-     * DragDropStep08: MachineY: Got ClipboardDragDrop, isDropping set, get the MachineX name from the package.
-     * DragDropStep09: MachineY: Since isDropping is true, show up the drop form (looks like an icon).
-     * DragDropStep10: MachineY: MouseUp, set isDropping to false, hide the drop "icon" and get data.
-     * DragDropStep11: MachineX: Mouse move back without drop event, cancelling drag/dop
-     *                           SendClipboardBeatDragDropEnd
-     * DragDropStep12: MachineY: Hide the drop "icon" when received ClipboardDragDropEnd.

+ * Drag&Drop is one complicated implementation of the tool with some tricks.
+ *
+ * SEQUENCE OF EVENTS:
+ * DragDropStep01: MachineX: Remember mouse down state since it could be a start of a dragging
+ * DragDropStep02: MachineY: Send an message to the MachineX to ask it to check if it is
+ *                           doing drag/drop
+ * DragDropStep03: MachineX: Got explorerDragDrop, send WM_CHECK_EXPLORER_DRAG_DROP to its mainForm
+ * DragDropStep04: MachineX: Show Mouse Without Borders Helper form at mouse cursor to get DragEnter event.
+ * DragDropStepXX: MachineX: Mouse Without Borders Helper: Called by DragEnter, check if dragging a single file,
+ *                           remember the file (set as its window caption)
+ * DragDropStep05: MachineX: Get the file name from Mouse Without Borders Helper, hide Mouse Without Borders Helper window
+ * DragDropStep06: MachineX: Broadcast a message saying that it has some drag file.
+ * DragDropStep08: MachineY: Got ClipboardDragDrop, isDropping set, get the MachineX name from the package.
+ * DragDropStep09: MachineY: Since isDropping is true, show up the drop form (looks like an icon).
+ * DragDropStep10: MachineY: MouseUp, set isDropping to false, hide the drop "icon" and get data.
+ * DragDropStep11: MachineX: Mouse move back without drop event, cancelling drag/dop
+ *                           SendClipboardBeatDragDropEnd
+ * DragDropStep12: MachineY: Hide the drop "icon" when received ClipboardDragDropEnd.
+ *
+ * FROM VERSION 1.6.3: Drag/Drop is temporary removed, Drop action cannot be done from a lower integrity app to a higher one.
