How do I use the SigTest tools in a test suite?
Test suites for any Java platform/API/application (such as TCKs for Sun’s own Java Development Kit (JDK)) typically provide a set of behavioral tests, as a component. Similarly, API tests can be considered as a testing component required to ensure backwards source level (for compilation) and binary level (for runtime linking) compatibility testing. SignatureTest tool can be thought of as a single, complex predicate, determining the backwards compatibility.
