> 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.
