!!! Regression Search and Destroy Contest !!!
I posted the Wiki page this morning for the Derby 10.2 Regression
Search and Destroy contest. The contest winners will be:
"The top three developers or users who have made the greatest
contribution toward a seamless upgrade to 10.2."
Details are at: http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/RegressionSearchAndDestroy
Entries can be anything that helps ease transition to 10.2: trying
applications, finding regressions, reviewing documentation,
identifying fixed Jira issues with application impact or anything else
that contributes to a seamless upgrade. Make sure you record your
results when you try applications with Derby 10.2 on the page at
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/TenTwoApplicationTesting even if you
don't find any bugs.
We already have a couple of contest entries. Dan filed a regression,
DERBY-1554, this afternoon. and Michael Bouschen did JDO 2.1 testing.
Contest ends September 15.
After you make sure everything is working as it was, don't forget to
try JDBC 4.0, Grant/Revoke, scrollable updatable resultsets and all
the other great things that 10.2 has to offer.
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/TenTwoSnapshot. When you find a bug
against new features, file it in Jira and give yourself a point, but it
doesn't count in the contest.
Good Luck !

We now have our panel of judges. Thanks to Stan, Rajesh and John for
volunteering. Now all we need is an army of users to try their
applications and flush all the bugs out of the product and documentation
for 10.2. Please take a look and participate.

I was rereading the open source classic, "The Cathedral & the Bazaar" by
Eric Raymond this weekend and was struck once again by the lessons of
open source. These two relate directly to 10.2 testing I think.
#8. Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost
every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone.
#10. If you treat your beta-testers as if they're your most valuable
resource, they will respond by becoming your most valuable resource.
I believe both of these are very true. Please try 10.2!

Since the wiki page mentions a need for yet another judge, I volunteer
for the "Judge #3" position...

I can volunteer to be the second judge, if that position is still
vacant. ;-)
Another application that I wanted to suggest for testing with Derby 10.2
would be benchmarks like Apache DayTrader using app servers
that support Derby (Geronimo, etc. etc.). I think running such
scenarios for a longer duration against Derby would be useful
in finding issues.
