Talking to several people who are struggling with DTM, and reading the DTM
beta newsgroup, I have a query for people (especially those who work for
corporations). Namely: how big is the test lab you use for WHQL?
Personally, I worked for companies directly and consulted for firms over the
years (some before doing Windows drivers) and I have never seen a test lab
for compliance testing over about 15 to 20 computers for a group, and most
were a lot smaller. I have seen some huge integration labs, where people
have one of everything, but they are not running things like WHQL tests
there.
Since DTM seems to be optimzed for the 50+ computer test lab, I really want
to know if you have been in a situation where you had access to such an
evironment. Knowing who would help, but just a “yep I’ve been there” will
be interesting. And if not, what is the size of the biggest lab you have
worked with, and the size of your current one?
