OpenELA Introduces Open-Source Verification Suite for Enterprise Linu
OpenELA, a non‑profit trade association formed by open‑source enterprises—principally CIQ, Oracle, and SUSE—to ensure that the source code of Enterprise Linux remains freely available, announced ELValidated, a verification and compatibility suite designed to streamline development and deployment across distributions.
This open-source toolkit promises to reduce testing costs, minimize compatibility risks, and—most importantly—give end-users more flexibility in choosing their Enterprise Linux solutions without sacrificing stability.
For years, ensuring compatibility across different Enterprise Linux distributions has been a persistent challenge.

New OpenELA compatibility toolset helps Enterprise Linux distributors reduce testing costs and resource commitments
OpenELA today announced ELValidated, a verification and interoperability suite for Enterprise Linux operating systems. This suite gives organizations and developers the ability to verify the compatibility of their Enterprise Linux distributions. This compatibility enables software and hardware vendors to reduce testing costs, resource commitments, and risk while giving end-users more choice and confidence in using compatible versions, as well as more flexibility in their Enterprise Linux distribution options.

New OpenELA compatibility toolset helps Enterprise Linux distributors reduce testing costs and resource commitments
ELValidated is an open source toolkit which uses industry standardized technology to validate the binary interface of libraries in a given operating system. The tool checks the Application Binary Interfaces (ABI) for critical libraries and packages against published ABIs hosted by the OpenELA organization, and Enterprise Linux vendors whose distributions meet this standard can be confident that their distributions are binary compatible with the Enterprise Linux standard. This standard can also be used by software application vendors: vendors whose software is supported on environments that meet the OpenELA Compatibility Standard can be confident that their applications will run on any compatible Enterprise Linux distribution.
