App Certification Submissions
Windows certification can help customers make better purchasing decisions by identifying products that have passed Microsoft-designed tests for compatibility and reliability.
To get your app certified, start by reviewing the Windows 8.1 App Certification Program Requirements. Then develop and test your software by using the the Windows App Certification Kit. Finally, submit it for certification through the dashboard.
