I'm in for a longer adventure, but I'm not sure 30 days is workable.
Ideally we'd have a freeze at the start of the test phase, and I can't see a 30
day freeze working in this environment ;) I think we saw what happened when we
tried testing against a moving target. I honestly don't know what the answer
is, maybe tighter control over changes and additions after we enter the test
phase without a real freeze? Maybe there is a way to do a freeze?
The other point we should be aware of is that starting in Jan, most of us
(I assume most of the people on this list are in the IT industry somewhere ;))
can expect to get really busy as the Y2K panic ends and businesses get back to
upgrading and buying new stuff. Time for volunteering might get a bit tight ;)
Assuming my day job doesn't kill me, I'lll even attempt some code for
testing specific functionality. I'm open to ideas for this, I've already
started mapping out some code to test threads and the file system, and I should
have something to play with before end month. I really had no (and am still a
bit vague on) ideas for what needs testing.
cheers,
Colin
