Lots More Testing of the New Ticker Infrastructure
I've spent a lot of time today working with a good guy in the ticker infrastructure team to get bugs in his group's code worked out. It's not been easy on him, that's for sure. Today I showed him no less than 4 bugs, each requiring new libraries be built - or in the case of one, the infrastructure itself had to be patched and upgraded.
I gotta hand it to him, it's a massive change, but I'm amazed that his developers didn't find any of these bugs in their testing. I'd have thought they'd have seen these as I did upon first inspection. I guess this is what he's going through to get his guys to get the bugs fixed.
In the end, I know it'll work, but I just feel really bad for him when I keep pointing out bugs less than 5 mins after a new release that he's thinking fixed the very last bug. Nope. There's a few more.
At least he's taking off for the weekend and getting some rest. I'll email him the next set of bugs in the morning and he can get to them on Monday. He deserves a break. It's close, but it still needs work.
