Problem Summary | /tset/POSIX.os/procenv/times/T.time results inconsistent |
Problem Text | The test in question is influenced by its' order in the test list and by whether it is run standalone or in a list. Seems to indicate that the test was tweaked for one board and running on another with significantly better performance causes the test to complete it's delay loop more quickly than expected. Result is that time appears to be 0. If the test is run at just the right time, it passes. Data from a series of runs is attached. Includes standalone, before another test and after another test. |

Review Recommendation | Test Suite Deficiency (TSD) |
Review Response | A test suite deficiency is recommended. The tests use the routine use_time() from userintf.c. In later revisions we have adjusted the values to cause a longer delay on faster processors. |
