RE: Check packages for functions and parameters

We do use cruise control.net in our sql server environment. Builds are triggered when source code is committed to subversion. It works well. Thanks for the suggestion though...

What about using a continuous build harness like cruise control, basically it runs continuous builds and will report success and failure of the build and the resultant testing. If you point a build of your code to a new application then it will rapidly fail at one step alerting you to the fact that a particular module has been altered. All other code is immediately verified to still function to your test suite. If your test suite is good then it is a simple targeted fix Do a Google search for "continuous build" to find other suitable tools

Subject: Check packages for functions and parameters

We have a third party application that we've layered our own asp.net app on top of and the vendor periodically changes some functions around when new releases come out. In particular a function was recently moved from one package to another. They also sometimes change the parameters for a given function that we rely on. Our developer is looking for a way to do some rudimentary unit testing to ensure we know when something has changed. The unit tests are being written in C#. So far we've been thinking of looking at all_source to check to see if a function is still in a particular package but we've yet to come up with a good way to check to see if the parameters have changed. Anyone got any suggestions while I continue my search?
