1 Linux Test Project 2 ------------------ 3 4 Linux Test Project is a joint project started by SGI, OSDL and Bull developed 5 and maintained by IBM, Cisco, Fujitsu, SUSE, Red Hat, Oracle and others. The 6 project goal is to deliver tests to the open source community that validate the 7 reliability, robustness, and stability of Linux. 8 9 The LTP testsuite contains a collection of tools for testing the Linux kernel 10 and related features. Our goal is to improve the Linux kernel and system 11 libraries by bringing test automation to the testing effort. Interested open 12 source contributors are encouraged to join. 13 14 Project pages are located at: http://linux-test-project.github.io/ 15 16 The latest image is always available at: 17 https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/releases 18 19 The discussion about the project happens at ltp mailing list: 20 http://lists.linux.it/listinfo/ltp 21 22 The git repository is located at GitHub at: 23 https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp 24 25 Warning! 26 -------- 27 Be careful with these tests! 28 29 Don't run them on production systems. Growfiles, doio, and iogen in particular 30 stress the I/O capabilities of systems and while they should not cause problems 31 on properly functioning systems, they are intended to find (or cause) problems. 32 33 Developers corner 34 ----------------- 35 36 Before you start you should read following documents: 37 38 * doc/test-writing-guidelines.txt 39 * doc/build-system-guide.txt 40 41 these two should contain all information needed for modifying or creating LTP 42 testcases. If something is not covered there don't hesitate to ask on the LTP 43 mailing list. 44 45 Also note that these documents are available online at: 46 47 https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/Test-Writing-Guidelines 48 https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/BuildSystem 49
