Test: Getting Started
Updated: January 6, 2010
Step 1: Test your product and driver using the Windows Logo Kit.
For Windows Logo Kit download instructions, see How to Get the Windows Logo Kit. For a complete list of logo programs, see Windows Logo Program Test Categories. If you are testing your product for x64 versions of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008 R2, your driver must be code signed in order to load. For more information, see Kernel-Mode Code Signing Walkthrough.
Step 2: Address any failures with help from Microsoft.
When testing with the Driver Test Manager (DTM), you can automatically apply errata by using the DTM Errata filters available from the Winqual Web site. This often resolves failures.
For DTM technical support and for help resolving failures, contact Microsoft Help and Support.
After you resolve or fix all test failures, you are ready to submit your test logs and driver package to Winqual.
