Interface TestDifference

public interface TestDifference

The interface for external modules that test if two version streams are different. Since the differences themselves don't have to be calculated an implementation can be quite fast. Such modules are declared in /configuration/maps.xml using the test-difference element as in the following example:

 <test-difference>
   <mime-type>* /*</mime-type>
   <class><name>be.re.repo.mod.BinaryTestDifference</name></class>
 </test-difference>
