Hi, > De : Pierre Joye [mailto:pierre.php@gmail.com] > > How do you test apps with actual production data? What a given code is > being fed with in production, everywhere, using random > application&users specific data or inputs. I personally have no codebase to test. These results come from a simple PHP core 'make test, probably not representative of a real application, I agree. I expected ML members to try the tool on their codebase and return numbers but, as usual, after everyone asked for a BC break evaluation tool, now it is here and nobody uses it. I cannot do more than providing the tool. If nobody wants to use it, we'll have to make a decision based on the few not so representative numbers we have. But I won't accept arguments on potential *huge* BC break if none is able to give 10 minutes to evaluate the *real* risk. Regards François
