Abstract
The Linux Test Project is an organization aimed at improving the Linux
kernel by bringing test automation to the kernel testing effort. To
meet this objective, the Linux Test Project develops test suites that
run on multiple platforms for validating the reliability, robustness,
and stability of the Linux kernel. The LTP test suite was designed to
be easy to use, portable, and flexible enough that tests could be added
without requiring the developer to use functions provided by the LTP
test driver. This talk will cover what the Linux Test Project is and
what we are doing to help improve Linux. I also plan to talk about
the features provided by the test harness, the structure of the test
cases, and how test cases can be written to contribute to the Linux
Test Project.
