Test Your Device Driver (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
There are several paths you can take to begin testing your device driver. A simple first test that you can perform is to create a console application that loads and calls your driver. Another way to test your driver is by using the Windows Embedded Compact Test Kit (CTK) to make similar calls, but as part of a test suite. Writing a console application is a quick way to get started with simple tests, and using the CTK is more helpful for regression and stress testing.
Note
If you find problems when you test a device driver, you can debug the driver by using the kernel debugger.
This section describes test procedures that use a console application and test procedures that use the CTK.
