Enum EnvironmentMode

    java.lang.Object
      java.lang.Enum<EnvironmentMode>
          org.optaplanner.core.config.solver.EnvironmentMode

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Comparable<EnvironmentMode>

    public enum EnvironmentMode

extends Enum<EnvironmentMode>

The environment mode also allows you to detect common bugs in your implementation.

Also, a `Solver` has a single `Random` instance. Some optimization algorithms use the `Random` instance a lot more than others. For example simulated annealing depends highly on random numbers, while tabu search only depends on it to deal with score ties. This environment mode influences the seed of that `Random` instance.

Enum Constant Summary
`FAST_ASSERT` This mode turns on several assertions (but not all of them) to fail-fast on a bug in a `Move` implementation, a score rule, the rule engine itself or something else at a reasonable performance cost (in development at least).
`FULL_ASSERT` This mode turns on all assertions to fail-fast on a bug in a `Move` implementation, a score rule, the rule engine itself or something else at a horrible performance cost.
`NON_INTRUSIVE_FULL_ASSERT` This mode turns on several assertions (but not all of them) to fail-fast on a bug in a `Move` implementation, a score rule, the rule engine itself or something else at a horrible performance cost.
`PRODUCTION` The production mode is the fastest, but not reproducible.
`REPRODUCIBLE` The reproducible mode is the default mode because it is recommended during development.

Enum Constant Detail

### FULL_ASSERT

    public static final EnvironmentMode FULL_ASSERT

  This mode turns on all assertions to fail-fast on a bug in a `Move` implementation, a score rule, the rule engine itself or something else at a horrible performance cost.

  This mode is reproducible (see `REPRODUCIBLE` mode).

  This mode is intrusive because it calls the `ScoreDirector.calculateScore()` more frequently than a non assert mode.

  This mode is horribly slow.

### NON_INTRUSIVE_FULL_ASSERT

    public static final EnvironmentMode NON_INTRUSIVE_FULL_ASSERT

  This mode turns on several assertions (but not all of them) to fail-fast on a bug in a `Move` implementation, a score rule, the rule engine itself or something else at a horrible performance cost.

  This mode is reproducible (see `REPRODUCIBLE` mode).

  This mode is non-intrusive, unlike `FULL_ASSERT` and `FAST_ASSERT`.

  This mode is horribly slow.

### FAST_ASSERT

    public static final EnvironmentMode FAST_ASSERT

  This mode turns on several assertions (but not all of them) to fail-fast on a bug in a `Move` implementation, a score rule, the rule engine itself or something else at a reasonable performance cost (in development at least).

  This mode is reproducible (see `REPRODUCIBLE` mode).

  This mode is intrusive because it calls the `ScoreDirector.calculateScore()` more frequently than a non assert mode.

  This mode is slow.

### REPRODUCIBLE

    public static final EnvironmentMode REPRODUCIBLE

  The reproducible mode is the default mode because it is recommended during development. In this mode, 2 runs on the same computer will execute the same code in the same order. They will also yield the same result, except if they use a time based termination and they have a sufficiently large difference in allocated CPU time. This allows you to benchmark new optimizations (such as a new Move implementation) fairly.

  Warning: some code can disrupt reproducibility regardless of this mode. See the reference manual for more info.

  The reproducible mode is slightly slower than the production mode.

  In practice, this mode uses the default random seed, and it also disables certain concurrency optimizations (such as work stealing). TODO: PLANNER-76 Multi-threaded support which implement those concurrency optimizations

### PRODUCTION

    public static final EnvironmentMode PRODUCTION

  The production mode is the fastest, but not reproducible. It is recommended for a production environment, unless reproducibility is required.

  The random seed is different on every run, which makes it more robust against an unlucky random seed. An unlucky random seed gives a bad result on a certain data set with a certain solver configuration. Note that in most use cases the impact of the random seed is relatively low on the result. An occasional bad result is far more likely to be caused by another issue (such as a score trap).

Method Detail

### values

    public static EnvironmentMode[] values()

  Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

      for (EnvironmentMode c : EnvironmentMode.values())
          System.out.println(c);

  Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

### valueOf

    public static EnvironmentMode valueOf(String name)

  Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
  Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

### isAsserted

    public boolean isAsserted()

### isNonIntrusiveFullAsserted

    public boolean isNonIntrusiveFullAsserted()

### isIntrusiveFastAsserted

    public boolean isIntrusiveFastAsserted()
