Improving Verification, Validation, and Test of the Linux Kernel: The Linux Stabilization Project
Overview Small projects tend to have virtually no testing performed by anyone other than the author of the program. Larger projects depend upon a community of users to find and fix problems through use rather than disciplined test methods. The Linux kernel is becoming an exception. In this case an increasing number of professional software test engineers are developing tests and test environments specifically to test the Linux kernel. This paper highlights one project that involves a disciplined test approach to the kernel: the OSDL Linux Stabilization project. The test philosophy behind the blending of commercial software test practices with the methods used in the open source community is presented along with the experiences of creating a collaborative community of testers to contribute to this project.
