IEEE Std 2003.1-1992 (Formerly known as IEEE P1003.3.1)IEEE Standard for Information Technology—Test Methods for Measuring Conformance to POSIX—Part 1: System Interfaces -Description

Abstract: IEEE Std 2003.1-1992 provides a definition of the requirements placed upon providers of POSIX test methods for POSIX.1 (IEEE Std 10031-1990; ISO/IEC 9945-1: 1990). These requirements consist of a POSIX. l-ordered list of assertions defining those aspects of POSIX.1 that are to be tested and the associated test methods that are to be used in performing those tests. This standard is aimed primarily at POSIX.1 test suite providers and POSIX.1 implementors. This standard specifies those aspects of POSIX.1 that shall be verified by conformance test methods.

Keywords: assertion, assertion test, base assertion, conditional feature, extended assertion, POSIX. POSIX Conformance Document, POSIX Conformance Test Procedure, POSIX Conformance Test Suite, test method, test result code
