Purpose
Windows Driver Kit (WDK) provides driver development tools that help you build, test, and verify Windows drivers. The WDK includes verification tools to detect and correct driver code errors early in development, saving time and effort. Use these tools to analyze, install, and test drivers throughout the development process.
Driver development tools documentation
This section describes the tools and techniques that can help you during development:
ApiValidator You can use the ApiValidator.exe tool to verify that the APIs that your driver calls are valid for a Universal Windows driver.
Important
The Windows Hardware Compatibility Program requires CodeQL for Static Tool Logo (STL) Tests on our Client and Server Operating Systems. The program continues to maintain support for SDV and CA on older products. Partners are highly encouraged to review the CodeQL requirements for the Static Tool Logo Test. For more information about using CodeQL, see CodeQL and the Static Tools Logo Test.
