Dear All,

There is also this project :

http://linuxtesting.org/

Mission and Activities of the Linux Verification Center

The mission of the Center is to propagate the Linux platform by ensuring its high reliability and compatibility through the use of open standards and advanced testing and verification technologies.

    * Development of open source test suites for automated conformance and functional Linux testing.
    * Strengthening open standards - helping standard bodies to improve, develop and enforce Linux standards.
    * Dissemination of academic and industrial expertise in the area of requirements analysis and advanced testing and verification.

The Center is supported by the Russian Federal Agency for Science and Innovations, by the international consortium The Linux Foundation and is based at the Institute for System Programming of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ISP RAS).


Best Regards,

Guillaume FORTAINE

>
> Dear All,
>
> The Linux Test Project test suite has been released for the month of
> MAY 2008. The latest version of the test-suite contains 3000+ tests
> for the Linux OS and can be found at
> http://ltp.sourceforge.net/.
> Latest happenings in LTP can also be found at:
> http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wiki/,
> http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wikiArchives.php, and,
> IRC: irc.freenode.org #ltp.
>
>
> MAY 2008 Highlights:
>
> * Addition of FILESYSTEM BIND MOUNT tests,
> * Addition of 2nd Set of Memory Controller Test Cases,
> * Added Default Log File generation capability,
> * Stable Release of LTP-DEVEL-2.0.0.0 RPM Packages for
> i386,ia64,ppc64,x86_64 & s390x,
> * FCNTL LOCKTESTS updates,
> * Update to OpenHPI 2.10.2,
> * Continuing work for Concurrency fixes,
> * Cleanup/Updates to LTP Real Time test cases,
>
>
> Note(s) from the Maintainer:
>
> Continuing with our endeavor to improve kernel code coverage, we will
> see some new test cases getting added to LTP in June 2008. But we would
> probably need much much more test cases in LTP to compete the pace of
> growing kernel. And this is becoming difficult with each passing day. We
> need to address this through multiple efforts, namely:
>
> 1) Invest more time in writing new test cases,
> 2) Searching existing testcases available from various locations, that
> can be a potential candidate to add to LTP under GPLv2,
> 3) Dig out unit test cases from developerś desktop and put it in LTP.
>
> Much of these efforts will also depend on preventing the Linux Testing
> community to fragment further, identify areas where all Linux testing
> projects can collaborate and complement each otherś importance, and work
> together for achieving the ultimate goal to make Linux better.
>
> >From this release onwards, we will also announce the significant
> contribution of this month, which happens to be the File System Bind
> Mount tests from Matt Helsley & Avantika Mathur. Thank you. Equally
> important has been huge contributions from others in terms of new test
> cases and Patches to fix existing test cases.
>
> Our web site also contains other information such as:
> - A Linux test tools matrix
> - Technical papers
> - How To's on Linux testing
> - Code coverage analysis tool.

> We would encourage the community to post results to
