| 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 bring test automation to the kernel testing |
| effort. Interested open source contributors are encouraged to join the project. |

| |
| Makefile |

| tools & library functions, as well as descriptions of every test. |
| |
| |
| include/* |
| lib/* |
| The include and lib directories contain headers and codes for common |
| routines used by many of the tests. We have tried to keep this to a |
| minimum. |
| |
| testcases/* |
| Contains all tests that run under the LTP as well as the "bin" directory, |
| which has hardlinks to all the test executables. |
| |
| runtest/* |
| It houses command lists that are used by pan for automated testing. |
| |
| pan/* |
| The pan directory contains a simple, lightweight test harness. pan |
| has the ability to run tests randomly and in parallel. See pan's man |
| page for more information. |
| |
| |
| 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. |
