Microsoft: WHQL

Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) testing is the cornerstone of the Microsoft "Certified for Windows" logos program.  In order for a product to earn the coveted logo, a series of WHQL tests must be passed in their entirety.  Deceptively simple, each product and driver type requires a unique testing setup and approach.
 
To demystify the WHQL process, nResult is proud to offer comprehensive WHQL testing services.  Testing is available for WHQL categories including:
