FreeBSD: The Power to Serve

FreeBSD Kernel Stress Test Suite

The purpose of this stress test is to crash the system.

The stress test is composed of small test programs and scripts. Each test targets a specific area of the kernel.

The key concept of this test suite is chaos. Each test sleeps for a random number of seconds before it starts up in a random number of invocations.
