The Linux Test Project test suite <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="http://www.linuxtestproject.org"><http://www.linuxtestproject.org></a>
has been released for the month of JULY 2007. The latest version of the
test-suite contains 3000+ tests for the Linux OS and can be found at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp-full-20070731.tgz?download">http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp-full-20070731.tgz?download</a>.
Latest happenings in LTP can be found at

and

href="http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wikiArchives.php">http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wikiArchives.php</a>.
Our web site also contains other information such as:<br>
- A Linux test
tools matrix<br>
- Technical papers<br>
- How To's on Linux testing<br>
- Code
coverage analysis tool.<br>
<br>
Release Highlights:<br>
* Updation of OPEN_POSIX_TESTSUITE to version 1.5.2
,<br>
* KDUMP testcases getting more matured,<br>
* 'fsx-linux' testcase for "Distributed filesystem coherency" being
made uniform across LTP,<br>
* Gcov-kernel patch for 2.6.22, and other updation for LCOV<br>
* Many more patches to fix Bugs/anomalies in various test cases
<br>
<br>
Note(s) from the Maintainer:
<br>
Work has been initiated to improve LTP log formats, fix false positives
and add new test-cases to LTP. We are also in discussion to start
<b>LTP-DASH-MM</b> tree within LTP, which would incorporate test-cases
for
newly developed/built Kernel features. The Idea is to merge the same
test-cases into LTP once those features becomes part of the main
kernel.
Would request your suggestions on this too.<br>
<br>
<br>
We encourage the community to post results to <a
