Update Surface

This automated test verifies correct implementation of the driver functionality that underlies the IDirect3DDevice9::UpdateSurface method.

The test uses the IDirect3D9::CheckDeviceFormat method to determine the combinations of formats and surface types that the driver supports.

For all valid surface-type combinations, the test performs a comprehensive set of UpdateSurface operations. These operations include full surface and subrect copies, with and without translation.

The test accomplishes automatic verification by rendering both the destination surface and a reference surface and comparing the rendered images. The test uses the LoadSurfaceFromSurface function in Microsoft® Direct3D® 9 to prepare reference images.

This topic applies to the following test jobs:

  • Update Surface

  • Update Surface (WoW64)
