Preparing for DVD Playback Testing
Note This content applies to the Windows Logo Kit (WLK). For the latest information using the new Windows Hardware Certification Kit (HCK), see Windows HCK User's Guide on the Windows Hardware Dev Center.
Before you run the DVD Playback tests, you must configure your test system and install the operating system. This section summarizes the related procedures.
For a complete list of required hardware, software, and tester knowledge, see DVD Playback Testing Overview.
Many of the tests in the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK) require a test system to restart (often more than once) to complete a test run. (The test description and the running instructions specify whether a test requires a system restart.) Although these tests programmatically restart the test system, you must manually log on to the test system after each system restart so that the test run can resume. You can avoid this requirement by enabling autologon functionality on the test system.
Test System Configuration
To configure the test system for DVD Playback testing, do the following:
Install the appropriate Microsoft Windows operating system from the product DVD on the test system.
Install the hardware or software solution on the test system.
Install the manufacturer-supplied device driver, if necessary, on the test system.
If appropriate, enable autologon functionality.
After you have prepared for testing, you can run the DVD Playback tests.
