05-Jun-2006: Linux Verification Center Participated in LSB Summit

By invitation of Free Standards Group's Executive Director Jim Zemlin and CTO Ian Murdok, Linux Verification Center took part in the LSB Summit, Boston, USA, June 1-2, 2006.

This was a face-to-face meeting of LSB Workgroup and interested companies from the Linux world to discuss the roadmap for further development of Linux Standard Base (LSB) standard (list of participants can be found here). Improvement of the existing LSB testing suite was one of the important topics at the meeting. Representative of the Linux Verification Center - Alexey Khoroshilov made a presentation (pdf slides) on the Center's activities and OLVER project in particular. The audience emphasized such features of the Linux Verification Center's tests as good visibility of the testing results in terms of the original standard's requirements as well as good tools for measuring testing quality by various metrics. A decision was taken to consider technical possibility for integrating linuxtesting.org tests into the official LSB test suite from FSG.
