    All nighter

    Release 9.2 is due to go the same way as 9.1. Ie Down the toilet.
    I am the BA on the project yet always have to pitch in with the supremely tricky coding problems, schooling the system testers, running "Pre UAT" as we don't trust the system testing, and then managing the UAT.

    This all on top of actually being a BA as in requirements gathering.

    I gather requirements.
    I deliver first draft of business requirements to the business.
    Queries.
    Second/Third Draft.
    Final draft.
    Hand over to off shore development team.
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    Carnage

    Their system test has been getting better, but still lacks.
    We are in a 3 day UAT window, day 2 tomorrow and we are behind.
    Only if I pull an all nighter does this thing stand any chance.
    And technically I am delivering Pre UAT (a concept invented to make up for the lack of system testing)
    So in effect UAT has not yet started.


    If anyone is still up, keep me company, please
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

        Edit: as soon as it fails UAT you should knock it back. It's hard but you've got to do it.

          still in Pre UAT to be fair

          Issue #2742 oughta do it

          I just don't understand how this tulip gets through system test

          there was a rumour they wanted to sack the delivery manager and get me to do it. Sounds like a poisoned chalice to me

          Still I'm only happy when I'm moaning (apparently) so right now I must be well chuffed.

              to clarify, and this is binding as far as CUK is confirmed,

              are you a goodie

              or

              a baddie?

                It's not binding. You are quite welcome to disown me and deny we ever spoke tomorrow.

                Am a goodie of course <cough>

                    There is no system test. They are telling porkies.
                    You have to devise your own tests (communicated to them beforehand) and accept or reject on that basis.
