Working Dilemma

And then we step outside the software engineering lecture into the Big Wide World...

Bollox. The point of asking the questions is cover your arse. We already know the answer and we also know you don't get taught the really useful stuff in software engineering lectures.

So when I ask the architect tomorrow, quietly, if I can get another day to work through the problems his team have created I should really ask him "Has this code been tested, where are the tests" very loudly?

Its worth asking the question about the tests but we all know there won't be any. Maybe they'll start thinking about it?

Ask for extra time, explain that you are uncertain how the front end will treat errors and what will happen if they are not. I wouldn't be loud but I wouldn't be quiet about it either. I appreciate you are in a difficult position with this but you just have to keep pushing back in a non-aggressive way.

And don't get upset about it (like I do)
