Emmanuel Venisse commented on CONTINUUM-1342: --------------------------------------------- Can you use a more standard archive type (zip or tar.gz)? > Tool support for improved backward compatibility and API stability. > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CONTINUUM-1342 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-1342 > Project: Continuum > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 1.0.3 > Reporter: Erik Drolshammer > Attachments: code.rar > > > Backward compatibility can be tested by integrating projects that depend on > the previous version > of the service with the new (development) version of the service. If it > builds successfully, then the > new version is backward compatible for the functionality utilized by these > projects. Otherwise, a > compatibility issue has been identified. Additionally, if integration is done > after every change to the > service, it will also be possible to determine what change that caused the > build to fail. The concept > is thus to utilize projects that depend on the service as test data and build > these projects at > regular intervals with the new version of the service. > The attached code proves shows how this can be implemented. The code is based > on continuum 1.0.3. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
