To achieve this, we focused +our work on extending the pool of open-source +tests and on providing a tool for tracing the +internal mechanisms of the library. + +This paper introduces our work with a short +status on tests coverage of the NPTL at the +beginning of the project (February 2004). It +explains how we built the prioritized list of +NPTL routines to be tested. It then describes +our methodology for designing tests in the +following areas: conformance to POSIX +standard, scalability and stress. It also +explains how we have simplified the use of the +tests and the analysis of the results. +Finally, it provides figures about our results +and it shows how the NPTL has evolved during +year 2004. + +The paper goes on to explain how the NPTL +Trace Tool can help NPTL users and hackers to +understand and fix problems. It describes the +features of the tool and presents our chosen +architecture. Finally, it shows the current +status of the project and the possible future +extensions. + + |
