Testing
The Linux NFSv4 Testing effort seeks to ensure that the Linux implementation of NFSv4 succeeds on all these counts. The purpose of the testing is threefold:
- To prove that the features are implemented correctly according to spec.
- To locate and identify bugs, and verify the fixes.
- To give confidence to users that upgrading to NFSv4 on Linux is of benefit.
Testing Topics
- Testing tools
- Functional testing
- Interoperability testing
- Performance testing
