         Key: DERBY-516
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-516
     Project: Derby
        Type: Test
  Components: Test  
    Versions: 10.1.1.0    
    Reporter: Kathey Marsden
     Fix For: 10.1.1.1, 10.2.0.0


Need to incorporate client backward/forward  compatibility testing into testing 
procedures.

New versions of the Derby network server should work with old versions of the 
network client.  New versions of the Derby network client should work with old 
versions of the server.  Currently that means that the 10.1 client should be 
tested on the trunk.     The 10.2 client definitely needs to be tested with the 
10.1  server before release, but it would be good to start testing snapshots of 
10.2 client on the 10.1 branch earlier.
   

Note:

Bug fixes may mean that the canons differ for different versions.
The test harness I think is set up to allow different masters for different 
versions.  It at least has that functionality for the DerbyNet framework
 and it could  be expanded to cover DerbyNetClient.  The way it works is that
the harness checks for a masters in the following order:

functionTests/master/<framework>/ver<version>  
functionTests/master/<framework>/
functionTests/master/
