How frequently does Enterprise or Partner API change?

Hi there,
We have a test automation framework in place and would like to consume the enterprise or partner api to get the object at runtime and use it for testing. For e.g. get end-user account and use it for test purpose since account creation is not advisable as test user.

So, i would like to know how frequently the api changes so that i can fetch a new wsdl and replace in my test automation framework.

Thanks,
Pratap

Enteprise wsdl changes not only on your internal addition of custom fields or custom objects but when salesforce releases new API during new releases. If you are looking to use objects and fields without relying on WSDL then partner WSDL is way to go as you are accessing fields and objects by key-value pair style and it can be used against any sandbox or prod as far as you know the name of objects and fields you want. Check out following link on diference between enterprise and partner WSDL
