A friend of mine recently finished building his Linux From Scratch (LFS) project. He was showing it to me and we got to the topic of testing the Linux Kernel.
I found the Linux Test Project (LTP) online, and it seems that they have done some extensive work. The problem I'm having is HOW to get their test cases and run it off our configuration?!?
Please bear in mind that I'm very new to this.
I'm not sure how the linux kernel is tested. What comes to my mind is to perhaps build an application that can be called from bash prompt. The app would then try out different system calls and report back on how it went.
From what I can make of the LTP, I can neither confirm nor deny my above suggestion.
Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
