[Documents]
Manuals and documents are also provided in doc folder. They are:
+ S60_API_Binary_Compatibility_Tesing_Developer_Guide.doc
+ S60_API_Binary_Compatibility_Tesing_Design_Document.doc
+ S60_API_Binary_Compatibility_Tesing_Build_Manager_Guide.doc

[Note: How to build the OCR, MISC and TouchPane test applications.]
bctestorc and bctestmisc can be built in S60 3.1 and S60 3.2, bctesttouchpane can
be built only in S60 3.2.

[Known issues]
bctestsearchfield has some problem in device, but it is OK in emulator.

[Appendix:]
Why the coverage of bctestvolume is low:
BCTestVolume covers all APIs with 100% coverage, except for the following 3:
+SetValue()			8 blocks covered in total 10 blocks
+HandleResourceChange() 	8 blocks covered in total 16 blocks
+CreateSetStyleListBoxIconL()	1 blocks covered in total 22 blocks

For SetValue(), the uncovered 2 blocks only raise panic for error handling, It 
has reached the highest coverage.

For HandleResourceChange(), There are half of total blocks deal with the case
of PenEnabled(), Since pen is disabled in S60 3.0, They will never be covered.
So it has also reached the highest coverage.

For CreateSetStyleListBoxIconL(), The function seems like the following.
CGulIcon* CAknVolumeControl::CreateSetStyleListBoxIconL( TInt aValue )
    {
    //... snip ...
    if ( !CVolumeExtension::CreateSvgSettingsIconL( rect, aValue, icon ) )
        {
        // many blocks here
        }
    CleanupStack::Pop( icon );

    return icon;
    }

But CVolumeExtension::CreateSvgSettingsIconL only returns ETrue. so the left
21 blocks can not be covered. It has also reached the highest coverage.

2006-05-31, BCTest framework release v0.1

BCTest is a project to develop automatic test tool for verifying BC of core UI of S60 public SDK. BC means Binary Compatibility.

This release includes BCTest framework (BCTestUtil) with an example application (BCTestVolume).

BCTestUtil is an framework for developing BC test applications. It provides assert, log functions and a base class of test case, CBCTestCase. Users can develop their own test case class by deriving from the class.

BCTestVolume demonstrates how to write BC test application using the framework. It is used to test BC of volume API.

This release is based on S60 public SDK 3.0.
