Hi Volker, Two open kernel test suites are quite comprehensive and cover significant part of OpenVZ kernel functionality
One is LTP, or "Linux Test Project" - https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp - it covers standard Linux kernel functionality. There is one more test specific to CRIU - details are at https://lwn.net/Articles/694593/ These two test suites should give decent coverage -----Original Message----- From: users-boun...@openvz.org [mailto:users-boun...@openvz.org] On Behalf Of Volker Janzen Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2016 2:01 PM To: OpenVZ users <users@openvz.org> Subject: Re: [Users] I've noticed a new 'readykernel' package Hi Andre, I did some research about kernel testing in the last days. There are some tools around that can be used. Without further hints with tools to use, it will be very hard to start.
