The '''Windows Hardware Lab Kit''' (Windows HLK) is a [[test automation]] framework provided by [[Microsoft]] to certify devices for Windows. Earlier similarly released frameworks were called ''Windows Hardware Certification Kit'' (Windows HCK) and ''Windows Logo Kit'' (WLK).
 
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|driver]]s in any way they see fit.
