This component should be developed by .NET 3.5 and test in Office 2010 and 2013.

Unit Testing

Unit Test is required but it's hard to write unit tests for VSTO components and no official solution provided by Microsoft.

So we need to put all services into dll library and only put minimum required code in VSTO.

You also need to test the component manually in PowerPoint and Word with client's website.
