Windows Biometric Framework Tools

The Windows Biometric Framework (WBF) provides developers tools to implement sensor, engine and storage adapters to support their biometric devices. The WBF tools are intended to help biometric driver and adapter developers in implementing their software in accordance with the adapter framework standards.

The test framework is designed primarily to work with fingerprint devices and the tests require user intervention to provide finger swipes.

Biometric Tools

The Windows Biometric Framework (WBF) provides the following biometric tools and components:

  • BioTest.exe
    Fingerprint adapter test harness.

  • SensorTest.dll
    Test suite for sensor adapters.

  • EngineTest.dll
    Test suite for engine adapters.

  • StorageTest.dll
    Test suite for storage adapters.

  • TestConfig.xml
    Example configuration file.

  • WBDIDriverTest.exe
    WBDI driver test harness.

Supported Development Platforms

The test framework runs on Windows 7 and later versions of the Windows operating systems, and runs on both x86 and x64-based computers.
