Before you submit your product

Verify that your product meets the test requirements. Review the Microsoft Office Accounting Application Test Requirements, which contains guidelines on specific features and functionality that your product must meet to qualify for the Program.

The application must be fully functional and stable, and should install all components as it would be delivered to the customer.

  • All ISV application managed assemblies should be strongly named - whether they are loaded by Microsoft Office Accounting or not.
  • Any 3rd party managed assemblies loaded by Microsoft Office Accounting should be strongly named.
  • All ISV application ActiveX controls must be digitally signed - whether they are loaded by Microsoft Office Accounting or not.
  • Any 3rd party ActiveX controls loaded by Microsoft Office Accounting should be strongly named.

Exceptions:

  • Managed assemblies that DO NOT need to be strongly named: Any 3rd party managed assemblies used by the ISV application that are NOT loaded by Microsoft Office Accounting.
  • ActiveX controls that DO NOT need to be digitally signed: Any 3rd party ActiveX controls used by the ISV application that are NOT loaded by Microsoft Office Accounting.

REQUIRED INFORMATION:
Please send the following information to oa@qualitylogic.com to ensure your testing goes smoothly and maximize the application's chances of passing the first time.

  • Provide a Testing Guide that outlines the area of interaction between the application and Microsoft Office Accounting, and instructions on how to verify this interaction.
  • 3rd party managed assemblies NOT loaded by Microsoft Office Accounting and NOT strongly named:
    Provide a list of the 3rd party assemblies (and what they do) when submitting your application for testing.
  • 3rd party ActiveX controls NOT loaded by Microsoft Office Accounting and NOT digitally signed:
