Preface

The Sun Validation and Test Suite (SunVTS^(TM)) product is a diagnostic tool that verifies the configuration, functionality, and reliability of hardware controllers and devices. SunVTS is primarily used from a graphical user interface (GUI), which may be either OPEN LOOK or Common Desktop Environment^(TM) (CDE). This book describes SunVTS tests that run on machines with SPARC^{^(TM)} architectures. The descriptions include specific test options, procedures, and error messages.

This book is primarily written for hardware testing and verification purposes. Developers or experienced users who want to run SunVTS diagnostic applications in a test environment will also find it useful.
