Today I found a program called in Windows Components. On Windows I could determine that it is the Verifier.exe process. As far as I could see, the major feature of it is to test and stress windows drivers, looking for any errors that happen:'Driver Verifier is a tool included in Microsoft Windows that replacesthe default operating system subroutines with ones that arespecifically developed to catch device driver bugs.' I tried to run it, however I do not understand how it works. I followed its steps, and on the final screen, it told me to reboot my machine. I did so and absolutely nothing happened.So, has someone already used this program before? How does it work, and what kind of tests can I run with it?

It's for testing custom and potentially faulty drivers.
