Microsoft directx is a collection of application programming interfaces (apis) for han-dling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on microsoft platforms. newly launched microsoft os, windows 8, comes with directx11.1 api, which provides new framework for video playback with enhanced capabilities and new technologies. all applications on win8,using hardware acceleration, need to interact with hardware, and they do this through a device driver. hardware manufacturers have to write these drivers for a particular directx version’s device driver interface (ddi), and test each individual piece of hardware to make them directx compatible. dx11.1 video path being newly introduced and driver code being such a huge code, any change or extension to the driver code is susceptible to regressions or compatibility issues. hence, any extension or addition to the code needs to be tested thoroughly before actually deploying it as a device driver. this report describes the details of development of such automated framework, veracitynxt, which will provide a simplified platform for development of dx11 tests.the framework aims at contributing to nvidia’s driver validation system (dvs) in order to ensure correctness of dx11 pipeline on nvidiaplatforms .
