About this Zero-byte .DDS file

What you get

empty.dds is 0 bytes. 1kb.dds is 1,024 bytes of filler text. Both use the DirectDraw Surface Image name.

How to use it in QA

Attach either file where your product asks for a .DDS file. Use the empty file for a zero-length check, and the 1 KB file for a small non-empty upload. The download names stay empty.dds and 1kb.dds.
