Hi Subrata, Thanks for the e-mail.
I have tried to build and execute the test suite for Intel. And also I am Trying to review and explore the different testcases in LTP testsuite. I tried to look into various shell script test cases like ld,nm, mv, cp, etc And some C test cases like kill, mtest, filesystem tests, etc. I tried to look into LTP framework like PAN, runltp, manifest files(and its structure), etc. I just in a sort of confusion actually where to start with, I have subscribed to ltp mailing lists and daily I receive lots of emails describing about the changes that were made to LTP. I feel like lot of the test cases are already existing...:) and ... Just feeling like where to start with ...:( Thanks again for the email and for your genuine interest in my contribution.
