Testing and releases

Run tests

Run the complete suite with the Maven Wrapper:

./mvnw test

Run the focused client contract tests:

./mvnw test -Dtest=BitcasterClientTest

Coverage gate

JaCoCo is opt-in for normal development and enforces an 80% branch-coverage minimum:

./mvnw -Pcoverage verify

The HTML report is generated at target/site/jacoco/index.html. The coverage profile exercises the SDK by executing requests against a mock HTTP server, including URL encoding, authentication, payload defaults, error mapping, and asynchronous calls.

Prepare a release

Update the Maven version, validate it, and tag the release:

./mvnw versions:set -DnewVersion=0.4.0
./mvnw versions:commit
./mvnw clean verify
git tag -a v0.4.0 -m "Release v0.4.0"
git push origin main
git push origin v0.4.0

See VERSIONING.md for the full versioning policy.
