Testing Methodology: Website Checks and Package Limits
This page describes the work performed on this website build. It does not imply that WPD has passed a Windows compatibility test or an independent security assessment.
Website checks
The build is checked for HTML page metadata, local links and assets, canonical URLs, sitemap coverage, structured-data syntax, visible FAQ consistency, and the download handler. Server behavior is tested locally with the supplied Apache configuration; it must be rechecked on the actual hosting environment.
Download-file inspection
| Check | Scope |
|---|---|
| ZIP structure and CRC | Archive opens and internal CRC checks pass. |
| File list and size | Four archive entries; ZIP size is 342,794 bytes. |
| SHA-256 | Exact reference is published on the download page. |
| Executable metadata | Embedded file version 1.5.2042; inspection without execution. |
| Not performed | Windows runtime tests, publisher-signature validation, malware-lab scanning, or current-build certification. |
How a Windows runtime claim would need to be tested
- Record the Windows edition, build, architecture, WPD version, and starting setting.
- Apply one documented change on an authorized test device, then verify the Windows control and affected feature.
- Restart where required and check that the result persists.
- Reverse the change and document recovery, unexpected behavior, and the limits of the sample.
After publishing
HTTPS, hosting redirects, cache/CDN rules, actual crawler access, and page-performance measurements require the deployed URL. Indexing and AI citations are decisions made by search services, not test results that can be certified from a ZIP file.
