Additional Error Checking During Builds

The Maven projects now integrate Google's Error Prone - http://errorprone.info/ - tool into the compilation to detect serious errors in the Java code. Any customisations and contributions will now automatically be checked, preventing many serious errors from entering the code base.

Testing Framework

The Selenium IDE tests have been updated to use specific named selectors, rather than positions. Additional attributes (domain and range for faux properties) have been added to the UI to allow for this.

This allows the tests to be run against both the old (wilma) and new (tenderfoot) themes, and will make the tests more robust in the event of future ontology changes.

Note that Selenium IDE no longer works with the current versions of Firefox. Whilst we can currently run the test suite using a Java project and WebDriver, we will need to consider how these tests can be maintained in the future.

Publication Claiming

New functionality drawn from OpenVIVO has been added in the 1.11.0 release for claiming publications from both PubMed and CrossRef. To use these features:

1. Log in to VIVO with the ability to edit
2. Go to a profile and verify the options for claiming are there
3. Click on the claiming links - you should be claiming articles for the profile that you came from
4. Enter IDs, check that the publications are returned as expected, and confirming creates new publications and user links (note that if the DOI or PMID is already present, then the claim interface will return the existing publication from VIVO, not the external metadata)
5. Go to a co-author profile and claim the publication for them, verifying that the publication now links them as an author.
