That is good to know. > something more about the test case? If so, could you tell me the > direction? Nothing particular about this test case alone. Since you are interested to write other syscall test cases, why don´t you pick up some set of syscall test cases (with reference from the Latest Kernel), which are not there in LTP presently, and, which may be of interest to the domain of testing you are doing. And write them in your spare time for LTP. Another huge challenge facing LTP is to clean up and overhaul all the existing testcases that are there in the tree for long. I am advocating ideas like, Test Engineers, who do testing on particular domain, say network, can pull up LTP Network test cases to: * See whether functionality testing is properly adhered to, if not, how and where to close that GAP !! * Is there any need to change the code to improve the stress testing the testcase is doing ?? or do we need to add a new testcase(s) for doing a separate stress, but, for the same functionality ?? * Make the test case completely full proof to error/exception handling, * Investigate & understand what the testcase is supposed to do, and increase documentation content/comments on the same testcase, So, if you feel you can contribute to any of these areas, it would be great indeed.
