 ### Pull Request Requirements
 
- We use red-green-refactor test driven development. If you're planning to work on a bug fix, please be sure to create a test case in the UI tests suite (or unit tests, if you're working on Core/XAML code) that proves that the behavior is broken and then proves that the behavior was resolved after your changes. If at all possible, the test should be automated. If the test cannot be automated, then it should include manual testing instructions on screen.
