WHQL Testing
open-in-new
<p>The Windows Hardware Certification program (formerly Windows Hardware Quality Labs Testing, WHQL Testing, or Windows Logo Testing) is <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a>'s testing process which involves running a series of tests on third-party <a href="/facts/Device_driver/rDYnHU1G">device drivers</a>, and then submitting the <a href="/facts/Log_files/p7FHf8mA">log files</a> from these tests to Microsoft for review. The procedure may also include Microsoft running their own tests on a wide range of equipment, such as different hardware and different <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a> editions. </p>
