Convert the client server compatibility tests to junit.
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-4817
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4817
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 10.6.1.0
            Reporter: Mamta A. Satoor


The client server compatibility test resides in org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.tests.junitTests.compatibility package. There is a script named testScript.xml which does the task for trying all different combinations of listed jvms, server versions and client versions and then it invokes (I think) a junit suite CompatibilitySuite to do more client server testing. The problem is that while trying different combinations in the script, we start/ping/stop network server and any errors from these steps do not get caught anywhere. One example of a bug that didn't get detected as compatibility test failure is DERBY-3644. Only a manual inspection of the script output will show any problems. It will be nice if we can convert this to junit and thus making it unnecessary to do a manual lookup of the script output.
