No they are not related.

Many of the LSB runtime tests come from the Open Group and its vsx-pcts
test suite for POSIX 1003.1-1990 comprises the POSIX portion of the LSB
runtime. The Open Group has a family of test suite products for all of
POSIX and UNIX system testing from realtime and embedded through to the
main 1003.1 (and former 1003.2) standards. These support the formal
POSIX and UNIX certification programs.

There are also other test suites out there such as the Open POSIX test
suite which includes many tests in the realtime and thread areas in
particular.
