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