Line 38:
* Any differences in results compared to the original results may highlight if there are any changes over time where no backward compatibility had been provided for.
<li> Run the original model with the newer build, and without the <font color="blue"><tt>Defaults</tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>== </tt></font> command.
* This is more likely to see changes in results compared to the original results, which may require justification to the client or resolution by investigating, isolating and remedying the causes, especially if recalibration is not intended as a subsequent step.
<li> Iteratively run the original model with the newer build, stepping through the different release version options for <font color="blue"><tt>Defaults</tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>== </tt></font> command.
* This will allow the modeller to investigate and isolate what changes to TUFLOW builds may be affecting results, and when changes appear.
* Then, individually reverting settings that make up a Default group (see Chapter 18 of the <u>[https://docs.tuflow.com/classic-hpc/manual/latest/ TUFLOW Manual]</u>).
* This can help isolate the primary drivers for any differences in results.
* The <u>[https://docs.tuflow.com/classic-hpc/changelog// TUFLOW Classic/HPC Changelog]</u> that accompanying build releases are also a key reference.
<li> Develop new improved or updated model version, with the newer build (and any grouped or individual defaults that are deemed necessary to retain from the iterative testing in the prior step).
*Continue to verify results against the original results as you then iteratively add in or update to any newer functionality or formats that may be available in the later build, a good quality assurance check that changes are behaving as expected.
