====== The MINIX 3 Test Suite ======

The MINIX 3 sources include a test suite in ''minix/tests''. Primarily, it tests POSIX conformance. This page describes how to run the test suite.

===== Compile the test suite within MINIX 3 =====

Supposing you have [[.:usinggit|cloned the Minix source code]] in ''/usr/src'', type at the command prompt (#) 

<code>
# cd /usr/src/minix/tests
# make
# make install
</code>

and wait until it completes all the compilations. The tests will be installed in ''/usr/tests/minix-posix/''.

===== Run the test suite =====

To test the system, type

<code>
# cd /usr/tests/minix-posix
# ./run
</code>

to run the test programs.

**Note**: the full test set will be performed only when you are root, so you should start the ''./run'' script as root.
