The '''Windows Hardware Certification Kit''' (formerly called the ''Windows Logo Kit'') (WLK) is a [[test automation]] framework provided by [[Microsoft]] to certify devices for Windows.

It provides automated scheduling and execution of the [[Device driver|driver]] tests that [[Computer hardware|hardware]] vendors are required to pass in order to qualify to use the [[WHQL Testing|Microsoft Designed for Windows Logo]]. It also enables users to automate driver tests they have created themselves. These tests can be mixed and matched with the Logo tests provided by [[Microsoft]] to create a custom test pass, which enables organizations to use the DTM to validate [[Device driver|drivers]] in any way they see fit.
