------------------------------------

             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.
