linux ltp 网络,ltp: Linux Test Project

Linux Test Project

Linux Test Project is a joint project started by SGI, OSDL and Bull developed

and maintained by IBM, Cisco, Fujitsu, SUSE, Red Hat, Oracle and others. The

project goal is to deliver tests to the open source community that validate the

reliability, robustness, and stability of Linux.

The LTP testsuite contains a collection of tools for testing the Linux kernel

and related features. Our goal is to improve the Linux kernel and system

libraries by bringing test automation to the testing effort. Interested open

source contributors are encouraged to join.

The discussion about the project happens at ltp mailing list:

http://lists.linux.it/listinfo/ltp

The git repository is located at GitHub at:

https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp

Warning!

Be careful with these tests!

Don't run them on production systems. Growfiles, doio, and iogen in particular

stress the I/O capabilities of systems and while they should not cause problems

on properly functioning systems, they are intended to find (or cause) problems.

Quick guide to running the tests

If you have git, autoconf, automake, m4, the linux headers and the common

developer packages installed, the chances are the following will work.

$ git clone https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp.git

$ cd ltp

$ make autotools

$ ./configure

$ make

$ make install

This will install LTP to /opt/ltp.

If you have a problem see doc/mini-howto-building-ltp-from-git.txt.

If you still have a problem see INSTALL and ./configure --help.

Failing that, ask for help on the mailing list or Github.

Some tests will be disabled if the configure script can not find their build

dependencies.

If a test returns TCONF due to a missing component, check the ./configure

output.

If a tests fails due to a missing user or group, see the Quick Start section

of INSTALL.

To run all the test suites

$ cd /opt/ltp

$ ./runltp

Note that many test cases have to be executed as root.

To run a particular test suite

$ ./runltp -f syscalls

To run all tests with madvise in the name

$ ./runltp -f syscalls -s madvise

Also see

$ ./runltp --help

Test suites (e.g. syscalls) are defined in the runtest directory. Each file

contains a list of test cases in a simple format, see doc/ltp-run-files.txt.

Each test case has its own executable or script, these can be executed

directly

$ testcases/bin/abort01

Some have arguments

$ testcases/bin/fork13 -i 37

The vast majority of test cases accept the -h (help) switch

$ testcases/bin/ioctl01 -h

Many require certain environment variables to be set

$ LTPROOT=/opt/ltp PATH="$PATH:$LTPROOT/testcases/bin" testcases/bin/wc01.sh

Most commonly, the path variable needs to be set and also LTPROOT, but there

are a number of other variables, runltp usually sets these for you.

Note that all shell scripts need the PATH to be set. However this is not

limited to shell scripts, many C based tests need environment variables as

well.

Developers corner

Before you start you should read following documents:

list. Also note that these documents are available online at:
