## Remarks

**IXtfInputClient** is used to create, disconnect, and send game reports to a virtual controller on a development console. You can automate unit tests, stress tests, long-haul tests, and user tests by programmatically simulating gamepad input. To create an instance of **IXtfInputClient** call [XtfCreateInputClient](/reference/tools/xtf/xtfinput/methods/xtfcreateinputclient-xtfinput-xbox-windows-m)
