Xbox Tester .NET Edition

Xbox Tester .NET Edition is a simple application that enables you to test whether your controller is working properly. To put it simply, the tool lets you check if the buttons, triggers, vibration motors or thumb sticks are fully functional. Therefore, you can immediately find out whether you are looking at a potential hardware failure.
The app is portable, so you do not need to bother with installation or configuration. Following the download, you can connect your Xbox controller to your computer, open the app and start testing right away. According to the developer, the program is designed for Xbox exclusively and it has very limited support for other brands. In other words, in case you want to test other miscellaneous brands for potential hardware failures, then you need to look for another application.
It is worth mentioning that the interface is quite similar to the layout of standard controllers, so you should not have any troubles checking the buttons and triggers. During the actual test, you should be able to see a highlight of the object you press, which is essentially an indicator that everything is working fine. It goes without saying that if nothing happens when you press anything, then it may be a hardware-related issue.
