Realtime System Test Suites -- Technical Data Sheet

Executive Summary

The Open Group has expanded it's range of test suites for the latest IEEE POSIX® Realtime amendments. This is an opportunity for leading real-time suppliers to acquire state-of-the-art test tools to ensure the development of conformant POSIX® Realtime products.

The Open Group is well established as the premier open systems test supplier and certification authority. As a supplier independent and product neutral organization, The Open Group is the logical choice in developing standards-based test suites and certification schemes.

Introduction

The Open Group has a portfolio of test suites that cover the complete POSIX 1003.1-1996 standard, including POSIX 1003.1b (realtime) and POSIX 1003.1c (threads), to include the latest POSIX Realtime amendments (1003.1d, 1003.1j and 1003.1q) and POSIX 1003.13-1998 Profiles 52 and 54 (more . . .). In addition tests are also available for POSIX 1003.1, 2003 Edition.

Use of test suites is essential for proper development and maintenance of standards-based products, ensuring conformance of supplier products to industry-standard APIs, application portability and interoperability. In-depth testing with Open Group test suites identifies defects at the earliest possible point in the development and test cycle minimizing costly defects found in the field.
