Can appcert tell me if my application will run on Solaris version “N”?
Not directly. Appcert will only tell you if your application is at risk of not running because it uses unstable library interfaces. If those interfaces have not changed (yet) in Solaris “N”, then your application may still run without failure. Conversely, since appcert only checks library interfaces, it cannot warn about other unstable practices such as relying on private non-library interfaces in Solaris (for example, the format of various files in /etc). In those cases, appcert may not find any binary stability problems, yet your application may not run on Solaris “N”.
