Build and Run the Applications in OpenROAD 5.1
After you have created all the applications in your 5.1 code repository, build and run them as follows:
1. Image any applications included as images in the correct build sequence (or better, change the image inclusions to be database inclusions: see the note about included images in Build and Test the Application Under 4.1).
2. Run the application’s principal threads to establish the validity of the test environment.
The application should run correctly in all major respects: navigation, database interaction, functionality. If it does not run correctly, your 5.1 development environment is probably incomplete; do not proceed until it is fully functional.
3. Run the application’s principal threads to determine issues.
These issues are usually visual ones, so it is important that this initial review of the application be reasonably comprehensive.
4. Identify and document issues, correcting them immediately where appropriate.
Whenever you encounter an issue, establish immediately in the 4.1 development environment whether it is a pre-existing issue and handle it accordingly.
Where possible, correct any frequent issues that can be corrected in an automated process before continuing. Known 4.1 Issues to Resolve describes known conversion issues and how to correct them.
5. Correct any remaining issues that this initial review identified.
