Phase II installation bugs: Reflections on bugs

' ... I under-estimated what was being done. It was a complete and utter re-write of everything, virtually, and it needed a lot more testing. You see, with phase I there were some problems with Sybase when it went in and the application was slow, but it worked, pretty much, but of course it was hammered: as far as the testing was concerned, it was absolutely hammered to death. There was a long period of user-acceptance testing as well, with David and Keith locked in rooms for weeks on end, and we flushed out all the problems. This didn't get anything like the same kind of exposure and testing. I think the system testing was done by the business people, and there were a huge number of small problems, that were fixed fairly quickly.'
