[ANNOUNCE] The Linux Test Project has been Released for June 2007,

  :-) *Dear All*,
The *Linux Test Project* test suite *<http://www.linuxtestproject.org>* 
has been released for the month of *June 2007*. The latest version of 
the testsuite contains *3000*+ tests for the Linux OS and can be found 
at 
*http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp-full-20070630.... 
<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp-full-20070531....>*. 
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.  
 
* Release Highlights: *
* Updation of *OPEN_HPI_TESTSUITE* from version *0.5.0* to *2.9.2*
* Addition of '*writev06*'  testcase by <dmonakhov-GEFAQzZX7r8dnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org> 
<mailto:avagin-3ImXcnM4P+0@public.gmane.org> to check for "*fault in pages readable*"
functionality
* Addition of '*SYSVIPC* (containers)' testcases by 
<risrajak-23VcF4HTsmIX0ybBhKVfKdBPR1lH4CV8@public.gmane.org>
* *KDUMP* and *UTSNAMESPACE* testcases(s) getting more matured with more 
community contribution
* Updation of *'fsx-linux'* testcase to include new feature(s) including 
"*Distributed filesystem coherency*" by 'Andreas Dilger'
* Patches to support *arm eabi-compliant* gcc for g-cov kernel
* Many more patches to fix Bugs/anomalies in various test cases
 
*Note(s) from the Maintainer: *
* We have seen that the LTP mailing lists has become active for the last 
couple of months. Thanks to all who has made this happen. We as an 
integrated team can work hard to make this Project a resounding success. 
Following are the different milestones/activities that we aim to 
perform/achieve in the coming months:
1) Investigation into LTP Log(s) Library to make this more meaningful 
and parsible. Kindly provide your inputs for the output that LTP 
generates now and whether/how you would like it to be in future
2) Investigate all the existing test cases and find out whether they are 
relevant to today's testing of higher Kernel versions. If not, then how 
do we mold it to test the present day 
scenarios/functionalities/regressions ??
And when you investigate them you can look into the following points as 
well:

    *

      Investigate & understand what the testcase is supposed to do, and
      increase documentation content/comments on the same testcase,

    *

      Make the test case completely full proof to error/exception handling,

    *

      See whether more Log library calls(existing) need to be made to
      communicate more info to the Log Library for reporting
      errors/exceptions etc,

    *

      Is there any need to change the code to improve the stress testing
      the testcase is doing ?? or do we need to add a new testcase for
      doing a separate stress, but, for the same functionality ??

3) LTP today does not cover more than 60% of the Kernel Code coverage. 
We need to write more test cases for all those functionalities which are 
not tested by LTP today. /*I promise your new test case will see the 
light of next release without fail*/,
4) LTP wiki will be active in coming days, where we will post all those 
activities going on inside LTP,
More community contribution from all of you will decide whether all of 
these above milestones are truly and successfully completed. Kindly Pour 
in your suggestions on all those that you want to see in LTP.

*New Testcases to be Added to  next  releases:*
Following are the new testcases that we intend(tentative) to add in the 
next release(s) of LTP:
1) *Real Time Linux* Testcases
2) *CPU Sets* Testcases
