1 CHAPTER 1 Intr oduction The SigT est tool makes it possible to easily compare the signatures of two dif ferent implementations of the same API. It verifies that all of the members are pr esent, reports when new members are added, and checks the specif ied behavior of each API member . Signatur e T est Basics A signature test compar es two impleme[...]

2 Signature Test Tool 2.0 User’s Guide • April 2008 When used in a software development environment, SigT est tool can be used to track and control changes to an API thr oughout the development process.

Chapter 1 Introduction 3 Mutual Sour ce Compatibility Check While binary compatibility is important, it cannot guarantee that an application in binary form as a set of class files can be r ecompiled without error .

Chapter 1 Introduction 5 The use of building blocks created a need for more lenient checking of exception throw lists compar ed to earlier SigT est tool versions. Consequently , SigT est tool 1.5 provides both a sour ce and a binary compatibility mode of operation. This retains compatibility with earlier signature f iles while adding support for bu[...]

12 Signature Test Tool 2.0 User’s Guide • April 2008 ■ The Merge operation is commutative, so with API A and B, A + B = B + A. ■ It recognizes either binary or source compatibility when mer ging APIs. ■ For any application X that is compatible with either API A or B, when A and B are merged then X must be compatible with the resulting API[...]

Chapter 2 Using the Signature T est T ool 13 ■ When there ar e two differ ent access modifiers select the mor e visible one. For example, if A is a public int foo , and B is protected int foo , then the merge into C r esults into public int foo . ■ If the elements differ in the final modif ier , do not include it If a class is final , then all [...]
