Re: Q) What's better way.(Using DriverStudio from Compuware or Win DDK sample source code)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I currently have a driver written using DriverWorks from CompuWare. I am
recommending that we re-write for a KMDF and stop paying Compuware the $2K a
year tat the charge for bug ridden code. As Don states, your driver produced
using Driveworks will fail DRVFAST/PreFast and CUV. The fact that these
tools have been available fr at least two DriverWorks releases, tells me
that Compuware has not taken the time to pass their own samples through
these commonly available developmet tools.

Frankly I am tired of having to fix the same PnP bug in their code, revorted
but verifier/CUV, every time I get a new release of DriverWorks.

Subject : What's better way.(Using DriverStudio from Compuware or Win DDK
sample source code)


Hello every one,


I have a DriverStudio that has a feature to generate a Driver source code
automatically.

Is it better way to adapt a source code from DriverStudio not from Win DDK
sample source code?

Please share your experience or your suggestion.

Detail experience will be more appreciate.


Thank you.
