2008 DDC slides now available to all!
Got an email late last week stating that the material I and others presented at the 2008 Driver Developers Conference (which Dieter and James want renamed to Driver Development and Test Conference- more power to that idea!) is now available here.
The sessions I participated in are a description of several WDF test technologies and some hand waving about troubleshooting WDF installation problems.
If you are a tester, you might also want to take a look at James and Dieter’s presentation on concurrency testing, and who wouldn’t want to know about the new Driver Verifier features for Win7 (ably presented by Daniel Mihai)? I also recommend the presentation on DSF, because in many ways I live and die by DSF.
That would be “Device Simulation Framework” if the acronym is unknown to you. Sooner or later, having an easily reproduced software simulator for a device trumps going to EBay to buy some long out-of-production hardware your test driver must have… That’s just one reason I like it, but that’s all I have time for now…
There’s more- but that’s why it’s called a “browser”, eh? By all means, browse!
As for why it took so long to make public- remember this conference occurred under non-disclosure agreements. Takes some time to unravel things and get all the requisite hoops jumped through.
