The full text of the announcement is available on: http://www.opengroup.org/testing/new/announce.html regards Andrew +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Announcement Summary: The Open Group announces availability of a new family of test suites in support of the Single UNIX(R) Specification, Version 2. A subset of the new suites provide the first complete POSIX Conformance Test Suite family in the industry for the whole of ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 (POSIX 1003.1-1996) and ISO/IEC 9945-2:1993 (POSIX.2-1992). Test coverage includes the first industry standard tests for 64-bit systems, Large File Support, POSIX Threads, POSIX Realtime, X/Open Threads, ISO C Amendment 1 and Dynamic Linking. Background information: An important part of The Open Group's product range is its test technologies. These represent a cumulative investment approaching $20M. Any developer of open systems products must invest in some level of testing during development and QA to ensure compliance to specifications. The Open Group test suites enable such companies to share the cost of test suite development and maintenance, across the industry , yielding lower testing costs and a higher and more uniform level of conformance between products. In this way, vendors can reduce the costs of development while increasing the quality of the software produced.
