There should be some regression tests that already do > that. @seanjmullan There is an existing test which serializes and deserializes a `PrivateCredentialPermission` object. It only checks that the deserialized object is same as the original. There is no testing for new or deleted fields. The Java Serialization Spec indicates that the `testing` variable can be safely removed. This is only possible because the variable is `boolean` and is initialized to `false`. The CSR has more details. I have verified this behavior with a manual test of my own. Are you suggesting that I write and integrate a new test that basically verifies that the Java Serialization Spec works as documented? ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/10206
