About the Windows Driver Kit (WDK)

The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) is a fully integrated driver development system for the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. It combines the Windows DDK and Driver Test Manager (DTM), and also provides tests that Microsoft uses to test the stability and reliability of the Windows operating system.

How to obtain the WDK. The WDK is available for download on WHDC and through MSDN Subscriber Downloads.

The WDK includes support for driver development and testing: •

Windows Driver Foundation (WDF) simplifies the development and support of Windows drivers. •

Header file refactoring reduces header file complexity by providing a simpler directory structure, eliminating declaration conflicts, and using a single set of header files for all supported Windows versions. •

Installable File Systems (IFS) Kit headers, libraries, samples, and documentation will be distributed as part of the WDK. •

WDK Driver Test Manager (DTM) provides automated test system configuration and test execution, and test logging. It can be used to run tests and manage test systems and test labs for both Microsoft-supplied and other compatible tests.

PREfast is a static source code analysis tool that detects certain classes of errors that the typical compiler doesn't find. •

Static Driver Verifier is a compile-time tool that helps you explore code paths in a device driver by symbolically executing the source code. •

Debugging Tools for Windows can be used to debug drivers, applications, and services on systems running Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista, as well as debugging the operating system itself. •

The Unclassified Signature Program can be used to get a signed device driver for the Windows Vista operating system. •

Windows Logo Testing is performed to verify that your driver is compatible with Microsoft Windows.

A newer version of PREfast, which tests code against driver-specific rules, is provided in the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1 Driver Development Kit (DDK). This DDK is provided with the operating system beta releases, and the final will be available through MSDN subscription or by ordering it from this Web site.
