# XBOX Tools Framework

XBOX Tools Framework (XTF) is a collection of APIs that are used on your development computer to communicate with XBOX One development consoles.

For an example of how to use XTF to simulate controller input, see [Simulating gamepad input (NDA topic)](/build/console-features/debugging-diagnostics/xtf-gamepad-input-testing).

See [Reserved Ports and Firewall Exceptions (NDA topic)](/build/console-features/networking/reserved-ports-networking) for a list of ports that are required to be open for XTF operation.
