  • Article

Sets the properties for the UMDF Verifier on a test computer. You can use these settings when you build and deploy a driver to a test computer.

For information about deployment, see Provision a computer for driver deployment and testing (WDK 8.1) and Deploying a Driver to a Test Computer

For information about debugging UMDF drivers, see How to Enable Debugging of a UMDF Driver and WDF Verifier Control Application.

Setting UMDF Verifier properties for driver projects

  1. Open the property pages for your driver package. Select and hold (or right-click) the driver package project in Solution Explorer and select Properties.
  2. In the property pages for the driver package, select Configuration Properties, select Driver Install, and then select UMDF Verifier.
