Release Overview
UNIX 95/UNIX 98/UNIX 03 Support
VSU5 can be used to test either UNIX 95, UNIX 98 or UNIX 03 conformance. A configuration
variable is added governing which version of the specifications is tested.
SIZE
The size of VSU before the suite is built is approximately 40MB.
The size of VSU after the suite is built is roughly 300MB, exclusive
of journal files, on a RISC system.
TIME
The suite takes from 7 to 9 hours to run on systems of current vintage.

VSU Core Summary
VSU verifies the UNIX® extensions to the core operating system calls
and libraries. It is the industry standard test suite for Sockets, Curses
and traditional UNIX system extensions. Test scenarios are supplied to
make VSU a vital tool for regression testing feature areas, for example
STREAMS, and sockets.
VSU uses the industry standard Test Environment Toolkit (TET) as its
test harness. The TET is described at
http://tetworks.opengroup.org.
Numbers of tests, and time to run
- UNIX Test Mode - over 8,000 tests
Test Coverage
The VSU test suite verifies compliance of systems to Single
UNIX Specification extensions for core kernel and library
interfaces (VSX has be used in addition) . over 450
new added X/Open's XPG4 specifications Specification.
VSU features include:
- The industry's first tests for the popular sockets and STREAMS networking
interfaces. These interfaces are key to the development of portable
client server applications
- Extensive tests for development environments, ensuring a common application
can be installed and built across systems bearing the UNIX trademark.
- Tests for many interfaces originating in common UNIX variants: UNIX
System V, BSD UNIX and OSF/1, providing a unified application environment
across all these Operating Systems
- Tests for the widely used CURSES terminal user interface package
