• Localization Test - represents interests of geographic areas around the world to the development team - execute localization test plans to check for o accurate translations o appropriate language o correct user interface - functionally tests translated versions of products • Module Integration Test - provides acceptance testing to help ensure selection of high quality options - verifies the functionality of supported peripherals and applications in a wide variety of combinations of modules and platforms Performance Testing HP runs a number of popular, industry-standard and press-review benchmark tests to measure the overall performance of new Business Desktop PCs. These tests target unique sub-systems as well as full systems. Benchmarks are used to monitor the performance impact of design and configuration changes. Representative system configurations are tested through several design phases up to the production level. HP follows each benchmark's guidelines for preparing/configuring the operating system and other configuration settings prior to testing. Through these benchmark measurements, we can determine how well the system's performance in each design phase meets our product goals. As benchmark updates are released, HP quickly transitions to using the latest versions. Archives for previous test versions and the associated results are maintained for desktop products. Benchmarks used include: • Business Winstone • Multimedia Content Creation Winstone • SYSMark • PCMark • 3DMark • WebMark Desktop Certifications Certification testing is a unique type of testing that supports the goal of obtaining certain shipping and logo rights for Business Desktop PC solutions. Specific certification tests must be passed in order to successfully gain these rights. Testing is conducted prior to submission to resolve any issues that would impede passing. These types of certification testing include: • Windows Hardware Quality Lab (WHQL) Testing and Certification-Passing this required operating-system-level testing and certification allows HP to display the "Designed for Windows" logo on a product. A Microsoft-controlled test suite is used as a validation tool prior to system submission to Microsoft for certification. 7

Performance Testing
HP runs a number of popular, industry-standard and press-review benchmark tests to measure the
overall performance of new Business Desktop PCs. These tests target unique sub-systems as well as full
systems. Benchmarks are used to monitor the performance impact of design and configuration
changes. Representative system configurations are tested through several design phases up to the
production level. HP follows each benchmark’s guidelines for preparing/configuring the operating
system and other configuration settings prior to testing. Through these benchmark measurements, we
can determine how well the system’s performance in each design phase meets our product goals.
As benchmark updates are released, HP quickly transitions to using the latest versions. Archives for
previous test versions and the associated results are maintained for desktop products.
Benchmarks used include:
Business Winstone
Multimedia Content Creation Winstone
SYSMark
PCMark
3DMark
WebMark
Desktop Certifications
Certification testing is a unique type of testing that supports the goal of obtaining certain shipping and
logo rights for Business Desktop PC solutions. Specific certification tests must be passed in order to
successfully gain these rights. Testing is conducted prior to submission to resolve any issues that would
impede passing. These types of certification testing include:
Windows Hardware Quality Lab (WHQL) Testing and Certification—Passing this required
operating-system-level testing and certification allows HP to display the “Designed for Windows”
logo on a product. A Microsoft-controlled test suite is used as a validation tool prior to system
submission to Microsoft for certification.
