An announcement from the Linux Test Project . . .

The Linux Test Project test suite LTP-20020607.tgz has been released. Visit our website to download the latest version of the test suite, and, for information on test results on pre release, release candidate and stable releases of the kernel.

There is also a list of test cases that are expected to fail, please find the list here.

The highlights of this release are:

• A white paper titled 'Analysis of Linux Test Projects Kernel Code Coverage' is available here (PDF download). This analysis paper aims at identifying areas in the kernel that are currently tested by LTP and also identify areas that require attention.

• LTP's Kernel code coverage web site provides a testcase for each kernel source file mapping.

• LTP is available in i386 binary RPM format for download. Also, the LTP source RPM and spec file are available for download to allow binary RPM builds.

• The Linux Test Tools Table provides a comprehensive list of tools and testsuites available to test Linux.

• MIPS, s390 and 64-bit x86 updates.

• LTP test suite ltp-20020607.tgz is also available at the OSDL's Linux Kernel Scalable Test Platform.(STP).

We encourage the community to post results, patches or new tests on our mailing list and use the CVS bug tracking facility to report problems that you might encounter with the test suite. More details available at our web-site.

About the Linux Test Project

The Linux Test Project is a joint project with SGI, IBM, OSDL, and Bull with a goal to deliver test suites to the open source community that validate the reliability, robustness, and stability of Linux. The Linux Test Project is a collection of tools for testing the Linux kernel and related features. Our goal is to improve the Linux kernel by bringing test automation to the kernel testing effort. Interested open source contributors are encouraged to join the project.
