| Linux Test Project |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Linux Test Project is a joint project started by SGI, OSDL and Bull developed |
| and maintained by IBM, Cisco, Fujitsu, SUSE, Red Hat, Oracle and others. The |
| project goal is to deliver tests to the open source community that validate the |
| reliability, robustness, and stability of Linux. |
| |
| The LTP testsuite contains a collection of tools for testing the Linux kernel |
| and related features. Our goal is to improve the Linux kernel and system |
| libraries by bringing test automation to the testing effort. Interested open |
| source contributors are encouraged to join. |

| Warning! |
| -------- |
| Be careful with these tests! |
| |
| Don't run them on production systems. Growfiles, doio, and iogen in particular |
| stress the I/O capabilities of systems and while they should not cause problems |
| on properly functioning systems, they are intended to find (or cause) problems. |
