Daddy did that stupid quiz that was doing the rounds today... you know the Where do you see yourself in 10 years question, he put down "grandfather"....
DS1 has been pretty lucky so far I think - I can only recall one of his teachers so far that we haven't been impressed with. I think he endears himself to most of them with his work ethic (obviously gets that from his mothers side!)
Definitely, used it to great effect on previous projects but not here to a great extent unfortunately. The discipline was there to begin with (one of the first things I did here was to integrate NUnit with this particular project) but the commitment was unfortunately lacking.
The test today is functional (hopefully there will be an analyst to help me!) and this particular piece of code is a workflow that interacts with a database and triggers other external components.
Then you fix the bug. If all the tests now pass, win. If some other test now fails, your fix has introduced a regression, so you need to re-address the issue. (You do have a version control system that allows you to backtrack, don't you?)
The good news is we do have a version control system. The bad news is that it's SourceSafe.
I'd like to move ClientCo to SubVersion at some point, and once ClientCo have completed the split of IT systems and processes from its former parent then we'll hopefully have a much easier time getting such "improvements" authorised. At the moment it's a joke.
Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?
