Your code needs to run on [all versions of Java that Gradle supports](platforms/documentation/docs/src/docs/userguide/releases/compatibility.adoc) and across all supported operating systems (macOS, Windows, Linux). The [Gradle CI system](http://builds.gradle.org/) will verify this, but here are some pointers that will avoid surprises:

* Be careful when using features introduced in Java 1.7 or later. Some parts of Gradle still need to run on Java 6.

#### Running sanity check

If you have Docker installed on your system, you can perform a sanity check on
your changes by running the command:

```bash
tensorflow/tools/ci_build/ci_build.sh CPU tensorflow/tools/ci_build/ci_sanity.sh
```

This will catch most license, Python coding style and BUILD file issues that
may exist in your changes.

#### Running unit tests
