Introducing the Driver
Test Manager
Introducing the DTM
The test automation framework used by
Microsoft to test Windows
The required test platform for all Windows
hardware Logo programs
A Logo test automation framework that
can serve as a platform for the future
DTM Advantages
Improved testing throughput
Parallel execution
Automated scheduling and execution of tests

1-100 clients per DTM system
Controller pushes jobs to the client
Execution Agent (EA) on client receives job and
executes tests
Results and logs copied to the Controller
Must have network connectivity with the Controller
Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP, Windows
Server 2003, Windows Vista all supported
The .NET Framework is not required
Deployment Process
Controller is installed from WDK DVD
All prerequisites can be installed from the WDK
DVD
Controller install includes shares for Studio and
Client
To add a client

To add a Studio
Connect to DTMInstall\Studio
Run Setup
Networking requirements
Network connectivity required between all
systems: Controller, Studios and Clients
Domains or Workgroups supported
Controller cannot also serve as Domain
Controller
IPv4 and IPv6 supported
Planning for Deployment
Treat you controller as a line of business
application server
Have a data backup plan and use it
Have a failover plan
Use a highly reliable system
Establish policies
Test stores: location and security
Driver stores: location and security
Automation tools for OS deployment
Who will administer the controller
Who has access to the systems
Planning for Deployment
Evaluate your lab infrastructure
Controller should not have a connection to
your corporate network or the Internet
Engineers can work remotely if they have
network access to Studio and the clients
Plan for any needed software and hardware
purchases
Develop a training plan
Validate your plans using Beta 2 now
