We present the results of numerical experiments aimed at demonstrating how the g-mode period spectra of pulsating DA white dwarfs depend on the various components of the input physics. We take advantage of recent developments on many fronts of physics (equation of state, opacity, convection) to compare the theoretical pulsation periods of models with different pieces of the constitutive physics, but with otherwise fixed values of their stellar parameters. This exercise is necessary to assess the reliability of the pulsation analyses of white dwarfs which have started to come out.
