Description

Several demos are included in Derby's -bin distributions, but there are almost no tests in place to verify that these demos still work as expected, or that they work at all. There should be (JUnit?) tests in place testing at least some of these demos in their intended environments. These tests should be run at regular intervals, for example as part of the release process, or as part of the regular regression test suites.

In -bin distributions, various demo programs are located in the directory demo/programs/. For the next feature release this currently includes:

• localcal
• nserverdemo
• scores
• simple
• toursdb
• vtis
• workingwithderby

DERBY-3190 adds yet another demo, simplemobile.

There is currently one demo test in java/testing/org/apache/derbyTesting/functionTests/tests/demo/, called checkToursDB.java (old harness).
