Quality Assurance

3.1 Testing

The QA tests and CLDC TCK (Technology Compatibility Kit) tests have been run on a regular basis on emulators and on the following platforms:

Solaris
Solaris 8/Ultra60. Compiler: Sun WorkShop 6 (update 2) C 5.3.
Linux
RedHat 2.4.20 on PC with Pentium III. Compiler: GCC 2.96.
Microsoft Windows 98
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
Win2000 SP2/PC withPentiumIV.
Compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Professional.

The J2ME CLDC Reference Implementation passes all the test cases included in CLDC TCK 1.1. The CLDC TCK compatibility toolkit performs comprehensive regression testing of various Java language, virtual machine and library features required of implementations that conform to the Connected, Limited Device Configuration Specification, Java Community Process, Sun Microsystems, Inc., version 1.1.

Components that are outside the scope of CLDC (such as package com.sun.cldc.io) have not undergone similar regression tests. Various sample applications have been used for testing those components.

3.2 Open Issues

A number of bugs have been dispatched for re-engineering but remain open at the time of this release.
