The Linux Foundation Announces Linux Standard Base Update and New Testing Tools
The Linux Foundation has announced
an update of the Linux Standard Base (LSB) and the release of a new testing
toolkit. "
"All the moving parts are coming together to give the Linux ecosystem its first testing framework that will coordinate development of upstream code to standards and downstream implementations," said Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation. "In order for a standard to be effective, it needs to have a powerful -- and usable -- testing infrastructure. Our testing framework will deliver that functionality and allow the Linux ecosystem to collaborate and test code while it's being developed, improving quality and allowing ISVs to reduce their costs and get their feedback into the Linux ecosystem more effectively.""
