  • Linux Technology Center Testing
    Linux Technology Center Testing The purpose of this paper is to summarize enterprise test results from the IBM Linux Technology Center Test Team (LTC Test). LTC testing is an integral part of IBM's vision to work with the community to ensure Linux remains enterprise ready. The LTC Test team is responsible for engaging with the Linux community and delivering test suites, documented stress runs, reliability assessment, and verifying defect fixes found by the test team through regression testing. LTC Test is part of the greater Linux test community whose goal is to ensure that the Linux OS, as delivered by the community to the distros, is as robust and defect free as possible. The work of the test community enables the distros to take the Linux OS, combine it with many other packages into Linux Distributions and test that combination. IBM brands can then take Linux Distributions and system test the appropriate HW/SW product and application stacks before delivering Linux-enabled IBM products to the field. A measure of the success of the LTC Test team's contribution to this process is the activity of the Linux Test Project (LTP) test suite hosted on SourceForge: There are approximately 400 downloads of the test suite per month with over 100 subscribers to the project. Background The Linux Technology Center was formed in August, 1999. In late 2000, the LTC team grew from 50 to 250 members. The LTC Test team was added as a critical mission in January, 2001. In just one year, the LTC Test team has accelerated Linux System test.
