Is it possible to add new tests to the HLK playlist file?

I want to add my own test to the HLK for testing the driver. Can I add a new test to the playlist file (XML)?

In the playlist file I downloaded from Microsoft here-https://aka.ms/HLKPlaylist
I see that every test has an ID. (Maybe the HLK finds the test details in the database by that ID.) I also opened the Hardware Lab Kit directory and saw a directory called "tests," but I'm not sure where all the test data is located. What steps should I take to add a new test there and include it in the playlist file I have so the HLK will recognize the test when I choose to test my driver? Where should I store the ID and details of the test? Should the test I write be in PowerShell, or can I choose the language?

Thanks

    Hello,

    You can always update the playlist to certain tests for testing purposes only, but for certification purposes you would need to use the MS released Playlist, for more information see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/test/hlk/getstarted/step-6-select-and-run-tests#playlists

    Thanks
