My understanding is that LTP is focused on current mainline kernel testing, while this project's initial concern is areas that are not currently in Linux like POSIX message queues, semaphores, and full support for POSIX threads. I see this as being used to evaluate different implementations that are being considered for inclusion in the kernel, glibc, etc.
This project is concerned with the POSIX APIs regardless of where they are implemented (kernel, glibc, etc.). Thus it can focus on POSIX, independent of implementation. This project will be more concerned with traceability back to the POSIX specification, and completeness of coverage, than I would expect from LTP.
That said, there is some overlap, and an exchange of test cases between the projects may be very useful.
I've copied Stephanie from LTP to get her reaction.
