Other Portable Testing Overview

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.

The procedures presented in this section outline the process for testing your Other Portable for proper functionality with the Microsoft Windows operating system. These procedures use the Microsoft Windows Logo Kit (WLK) and Driver Test Manager (DTM). To ensure full functionality, you must run all of the tests that the DTM identifies as required for the device. If your product provides bus-specific support, you must run the appropriate bus-specific tests in addition to the standard tests.

Using the Test Procedure Help Topics

The test procedures are divided into the following topics:

  • Other Portable Testing Overview

  • Preparing for Other Portable Testing

  • Running the Other Portable Tests

  • Troubleshooting Other Portable Testing

Other Portable Tests

The list of tests needed to be run depends on the capabilities of the device being tested. To see the complete list of tests that could be required for your device, please see Running the Other Portable Tests.

Run time: Approximately 24-48 hours

Hardware requirements

  • Windows 7 devices must install with the Microsoft Media Transfer Protocol class driver.

    • The device must connect to the PC in MTP Mode during testing.

  • The battery on the device must be fully charged before you start testing.

  • Some PTP or MTP devices are required to include sample content on the devices local storage prior to testing. If your devices meet any of the following criteria, include sample content on the device for each of the formats that the device supports to complete testing:

    • Device under test has a DCF compatible file system.
    • Device has read only stores.
    • Device does not support SendObject and SendObjectInfo.
    • Device does not support SendObject and SendObjectPropList

  • If the device supports removable media, the media must be added prior to testing.

Software requirements

  • Windows 7

Tester knowledge requirements

To run the Other Portable tests, testers must know how to accomplish the following tasks:

  • Switch a device to a computer connectivity mode before plugging it in (if applicable).

  • Plug a device into a USB port of the computer and maintain the connectivity throughout the test run.

  • Provide continuous power to the device during throughout the test run (fully charged battery if the device is portable and does not charge over USB).

  • Troubleshoot device installation by checking if the device is installed successfully in Device Manager or by looking at the SetupAPI device installation logs.
