Hello Eric,

1). Another community member asked the similar issue as you, and you can just use Task Manager to detect memory leak issue. For further information, please see this case: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winappswithhtml5/thread/845b2a17-208d-4bbe-85d0-c8b96ee09774

2). As far as I know that Coded UI test for Metro Style applications is not avaliable for VS11 Beta currently. However, there is a Manual Testing Tool for Metro Style applications. Please see the following links for reference:
