My understanding is that they should be complementary. The LSB test suites are conformance test suites, and have been developed using a methodology creating test assertions and then test code based on the formal portable interface standard specifications (POSIX and the Single UNIX Specification). Whereas the ltp suites (AFAIK) are operating system regression test suites built to exercise from the bottom up. I do not know whether the ltp suites are assertion based. In summary there will be some overlap in coverage, but they should be complementary, the LSB tests concentrate on portable interface testing, whereas the ltp tests may well delve into Linux specific internals for the kernel. The LSB tests have some quite complex signal and mmap tests and have been known to stress systems somewhat! regards Andrew
