DF - Concurrent Hardware And Operating System (CHAOS) Test (Development and Integration)

  • Article

The CHAOS (Concurrent Hardware and Operating System) tests run various PnP driver tests, device driver fuzz tests, and power system tests concurrently.

Additional test info

Test Description
Run CHAOS Test

This test runs PnP tests (disable/enable, rebalance, remove/restart, surprise remove, and DIF remove) and Driver Fuzz tests on the test device in parallel, while cycling the test system in and out of all of its supported sleep states (S1, S2, S3, S4 and Connected Standby) at the same time. The goal of this test is to test PNP, I/O, and Power concurrency scenarios and find any crashes and/or hangs in the process.

Test binary: Devfund_ChaosTest.dll Test method: RunCHAOSTest
Disable Enhanced Device Testing (EDT) Support

This test uninstalls the test filter driver (msdmfilt.sys) as an upper filter on devices specified using the DQ parameter. This test filter gets installed as part of running tests in this test category.

The PnP driver test uses EDT filter driver to send IRP_MN_CANCEL_REMOVE_DEVICE to target device stacks.
