This test tool helps developers of Windows Mobile applications test various security policies for Windows Mobile devices.

It is designed as a desktop application that ships with a preset list of "security configurations". A security configuration can be thought of as a template, which contains a collection of individual policies and settings. For example, a security configuration could define policies such as whether unsigned applications are allowed to execute, whether RAPI is disabled etc. Using this tool, the developer can provision a Windows Mobile device with different configurations, and then test the application's behavior under these configurations. This tool can be used either on an emulator or an unlocked Windows Mobile device.

This is because of the unusual property that arrays have -- they implement IList for potetially more than one T even due to inheritance. In the interest of economy alone then it is worthwhile to consolidate the IList implementations into some kind of secret helper but this has some consequences.
