New Means To Identify Preview Tests in WLK 1.5
In Windows Logo Kit (WLK) 1.5, we will introduce a significant change to the way new tests and points of failure are identified. The new preview filters are intended to mask the failures generated by preview tests. When a preview filter is applied to a new test in WLK 1.5, the following will occur:
. In WLK, the filtered error in the log will be like a modified "autotriage" error. The test will still appear as failed and will not be moved to a passing log. This will help you identify which failures need to be fixed when the test becomes required in the future.
. On the Windows Quality Online Services (Winqual) Web site, when you upload a CPK that contains a preview filtered log, any preview filter error will be treated as an erratum and will be given a pass.
Before the release of WLK 1.5, the Windows Logo Program team will produce a webcast to demonstrate how this works. Please watch the Windows Logo Program Newsletter for more information about preview filters.
New Submission Process for GPU Family Update Category
Effective December 1, 2009, the Windows Logo Program will enforce graphics processing unit (GPU) family policy for Windows 7 as described in Policy-0017 and Policy-0004 in LogoPoint ( https://winqual.microsoft.com/member/LogoPoint/Requirements/PreparedRequirementReport.aspx). Under GPU family policy, if the video card on a logo-qualified system is replaced with a video card that is outside the GPU family, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) must run the GPU Family Update tests on that system. The GPU Family Update category is a new system subcategory defined in Windows Logo Kit 1.5 to help partners to run a reduced set of tests to validate graphics subsystems. The Windows Logo Program team will not collect the logs for this category through the Windows Quality Online Services (Winqual) submission process. Instead submit your passing and failing results through the Windows Logo Program connection on Microsoft Connect. To submit log files from the GPU Family Update category: 1. Log on to the Microsoft Connect Web site ( http://connect.microsoft.com/). 2. Click Your Dashboard, and then click the Windows Logo Program connection. 3. On the navigation menu, click Feedback. 4. Click Submit Feedback. 5. Click GPU family update category. 6. Complete the survey form and click Submit. 7. On the next page, under Repro Steps, click Attach files. 8. Click Browse, select your CPK (one CPK file per feedback), and then click Submit.
Testing Process for USB 3.0 xHCI Controllers
Because Windows Logo Kit (WLK) 1.4 does not support Universal Serial Bus (USB) 3.0 Extensible Host Controller Interface (xHCI) host controllers, the USB Controller Power State Test and USB Host Controller Enable Disable Test fail in system testing and do not appear in device testing. Both tests have been fixed in WLK 1.5.
To test with WLK 1.4, first run a full set of system or device tests. Then use WLK 1.5 to run the USB Controller Power State Test and USB Host Controller Enable Disable Test, and submit those logs as a Readme file, along with the WLK 1.4 submission CPK package. Use the following submission procedure:
1. Create the submission in a normal fashion using the WLK 1.4 CPK package.
2. Reference manual errata ID 1767 in your Readme file.
3. Place the WLK 1.5 test results and your Readme file in the same folder for Winqual uploading purposes.
The log review team will triage the WLK 1.4 test results, then the WLK 1.5 test results. If all tests in the two CPK packages are passing, the submission will be approved. We will discontinue this manual erratum when we retire WLK 1.4.
