Description

The Open POSIX Test Suite is a test suite for POSIX 2001 APIs, not tied to specific implementations. It provides conformance, functional, and stress testing. Initial focus is on Threads, Clocks & Timers, Signals, Message Queues, and Semaphores. To run POSIX test suite on a regular basis as a OpenBSD regression test, compile the software as a port. All files needed to run the tests are installed as package. The port specific tool posixtestsuite creates a run time environment, runs the tests, and stores the results in the current directory.
