More information

How to enable verbose ETW logging for analysis

To collect more verbose ETW logs, change the user-settable parameter 'DoFullLogging' to 'true' before running the tests.

How to preserve the ETW logs for analysis in case of failure

To preserve the ETW logs for failed test cases, change the user-settable parameter 'CopyLogsOnFailure' to 'true' before running the tests. This will also copy the ETW logs of failed test cases to the controller and be included as part of HLK package to be shared for investigation.

Using Media Experience Analyzer to analyze failed ETW logs

You can use Media Experience Analyzer (MXA) to analyze failed ETW logs. The MXA tool is available as part of the Windows ADK.

Parameters

Parameter name Parameter description
TestCycles Number of cycles to run the test for
DoFullLogging Enable flag for full logging of ETW traces in case of failure, and re-run this test.
CopyLogsOnFailure Enable flag to copy ETW log traces to subfolder 'ETWlogs' in case of failure, and re-run this test. This also copies the failure logs to hlkx package to be shared for investigation
EnforceEncoder Enable flag to enforce hardware encoder
