System Certification Test Suite

README

The System Certification Tests (sct) are a suite of automated tests to satisfy system configuration and stability requirements for the SCO Certified Hardware Program. The SCT interface controls the configuration and execution of system load tests and ensures that the necessary hardware configuration information is recorded. Finally, the SCT interface provides functions that collect and prepare a handoff file for delivery to SCO.

 

The SCT package replaces the SCO Balanced Load Tests, and is certified for the following SCO Operating System releases:

Those with older releases should continue to use the Balanced Load Test programs.

For current information about the entire UnixWare and SCO OpenServer Hardware Development Kit (HDK) release, see the HDK Release Notes.

NOTE: The documentation references man pages for the UnixWare and SCO OpenServer platforms. The sct documentation is available from the online library or from within the sct application in the context-sensitive help.
