Additional Tests |
Rick |
2009-03-24 |
Verified signatures and md5 checksums of build artifacts of Release Candidate 1 (10.5.1.0) |
Rick |

Verified the integrity of the top level links in index.html in the bin distribution of Release Candidate 1 (10.5.1.0) |
|
|
Soft upgrade testing: From 10.3 and 10.4. Create database system/wombat with the old version. Then using the old derbyTesting.jar and 10.5 product jars, run suites.All. For older versions this is more ad hoc |

Soft upgrade testing: From 10.4. Create database system/wombat with the old version. Then using the old derbyTesting.jar and 10.5 product jars, run suites.All. Issues found: DERBY-4122, DERBY-4127, DERBY-4128, DERBY-4135, plus missing release notes for DERBY-2085 and DERBY-1062. DboPowersTest was hard upgrading the database DERBY-4154. Kathey hacked the hard upgrade out of the 10.4 test, reran and verified that we could access with 10.4 after the soft upgrade run |
|
|
Hard upgrade testing: From 10.3 and 10.4. Create database system/wombat with old version. Connect with 10.5 with upgrade=true. Then run suites.all with 10.5 derbyTesting.jar and product jars. |
|
|
Client/Server compatibility testing: Put derbyclient.jar and derbyTesting.jar from the old version and the other product jars from 10.5 in your classpath. Run tests and analyze failures |
|
|
Behaviour compatibility testing: Run tests from an old derbyTesting.jar against 10.5 product jars. Analyze failures. Make sure there are release notes for all expected failures. |
