JIRA
Feb/081
On my current project, we use JIRA to keep a track of all bugs found in the application. At first, it was a bit difficult using the tool – before we worked with an excel-file – but now it became a second nature. If I can fix my bugs on time, it will be a complete victory.
This is my list that has to be finished by tonight:
Looks possible, doesn’t it?
Murphy’s law
Jan/083
When something is not supposed to go wrong, it goes wrong. That’s Murphy’s law, and that is exactly what is happing at our project.
Last week we were suffering from a very slow development environment. Checking out projects in Siebel Tools took 30 – 35 minutes instead of the normal 1 – 2 minutes. Even after moving the database to a new machine where we used only 3 of the 32 processors and we had 21GB ram left, it remained extremely slow.
After some investigation, it turned out that is was a configuration issue. It seemed that every query comming from a programm with SIEB in its name, was checked to see if it was allowed to run. This was causing the slowliness. After changin that check, all went fine.
Untill I received a phonecall this evening. It was my colleague saying that I didn’t need to bother comming in at 6 o’clock as I normally do, because the entire development database was down and the DBA’s come in at 7h30. So let’s hope it’s not a severe issue and we can continue bugfixing very soo.
