Running the Modular Stress Test

With the Modular Stress Test, you can test the stability of your Windows CE–based platform by using a mix of test modules tailored to the platform. You can write custom test modules for your own drivers, applications, and so on, and then add these test modules to the module mix. With custom test modules, you can specifically test the stability of your drivers and applications and test their interoperability with other parts of the OS. For more information about writing a custom test module, see Custom Module Creation for the Modular Stress Test.
