createSerializationTestSuite

public static junit.framework.TestSuite createSerializationTestSuite(AssertSerialization.Context context)

Create a TestSuite for the serializability of a type. A caller must provide a proper AssertSerialization.Context, that enables the suite to test the serializability of the provided type and ensures backward compatibility for older versions of the type. For each type version a file is provided with the serialVersionUID as filename in a directory named like the type to test. If no reference file is stored in the reference DB, the test fails, but the file is created automatically, so the next run will succeed.

Parameters:

context - the test Context

Returns:

the TestSuite with the tests
