VSX4 + XNFS Overview

The X/Open Network File System Test Suite

Summary

  • Verifies the Network File System specification, including tests for system interfaces over NFS, and the NFS protocol itself.
  • Over 2000 tests.

Introduction

The Network File System Verification Suite Release 4, known as VSX4+XNFS, has the following test modes:

  • XPG3 & XPG4. Either mode can be used for branding XNFS, although XPG4 mode performs additional testing of features that are not required by XNFS Issue 1.
  • For the Internet Server Brand, XNFS must be run in XPG4 mode.

VSX4+XNFS uses the distributed version of the standard Test Environment Toolkit (TETware) as its test harness. TETware, can be downloaded from the TETworks website.

Source Source + tests (built for XNFS testing)

  • Client 25 Mb 60 Mb
  • Server 2 Mb 20 Mb

Numbers of tests, and time to run

  • over 2000 tests

A typical test run from start to finish takes typically 2 hours.


Test Coverage

The VSX test suite verifies the compliance of systems to the Network File System Specification , including tests for system interfaces over a remote file system, and NFS protocol tests. Note that the version of the protocol tested by this suite is the Version 2 NFS protocol.
