Dag H. Wanvik created DERBY-5997:
------------------------------------
Summary: Data source serialization tests use checked in binaries
instead of using the normal upgrade test framework
Key: DERBY-5997
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5997
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Dag H. Wanvik
The method of testing that Derby can deserialize serialized data sources from
older releases preserving upward compatibility, uses a set of checked in binary
files, cf.
java/testing/org/apache/derbyTesting/functionTests/testData/serializedDataSources/*.ser
files. These have not been added to or updated sicne 10.3 it seems. It would be
good to use the "only source" principle in the repo in this case too, and
integrate this checking into the general upgrade test framework we have.
Presently, one has to generate these files manually using the tool
"SerializeDataSource" manually for each release and check in the results.
