Welldone stepan!
I have a small question about the sample from serialization page[1]:
public void testSerializationCompatibility()
throws Exception {
SerializationTest.verifyGolden(new SomeSerializableClass());
}
Any argument for ****.golden.ser? Typing error?
Thanks!

Hi,
I've updated framework for testing serialization page[1] - I added
guidelines
for developing serialization tests. Also I've removed confusing 'TestCase'
parameter in SerializationTest.verifySelf() methods.
If there are no objections I'm going in next two days to move
SerializationTest.java from 'security' module to support folder. So new
location will be:
support/src/test/java/org/apache/harmony/testframework/serialization
folder.
Class name won't change.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Stepan.
