Testing

Tests were run on the following platforms. Results are listed separately for each platform.

Type test platform, jvm version by.:
SUN J2EE complience test jdbc suite (version 141); xa suite (version 141 plus patch) OS: WIN 2000. jvm: Sun jdk 142. myrna@golux.com
org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.suites.derbyall WIN 2000/ibm142, WIN 2000/jdk142 fuzzylogic@nonintuitive.com
Cloudscape functional Tests yet to be contributed to apache WIN 2000/ibm142, WIN 2000/jdk142 fuzzylogic@nonintuitive.com

Tests for a specific platform can be run using the corresponding derbyTesting.jar file that can be found here: derbyTesting.jar

Instructions on how to run the tests can be found in the testing README.

The following known issues were documented in the JIRA bug tracking system for tests on the day of the release:

KeySummary
DERBY-77Test instructions incomplete for setting classpath.
DERBY-88RunSuite summary rounds incorrectly

Note: the issue of derby-77 indicates that one needs to have derbyLocale_*.jar in the classpath or 1 test (derbynet/sysinfo) will fail.

The derbyall suite of this build has one failure; the test lang/UnitTests.java cannot be found. This will show up in the summary file derbyall.sum, and as 1 failed test in derbyall_report.txt.
