I just noticed that
I haven't met my self imposed goal on updating this blog every week. I've been locked down with so much day to day
work this simply fell off the radar.
Instead of any insight (that's coming up :) ) I'll share what I have been doing.
- Filling holes in test coverage. I had time to look at our code coverage numbers and found some holes in our coverage. I have added some tests to validate the code continues to do exactly what it was designed to do.
- Identifying holes in coverage. As we get ready to send features out to our customers, we review the test plan we have in place to ensure we did not let any test cases slip through the cracks. We find some very small gaps in our coverage when we did this exercise last time, so I added some tasks to our to do list and have been helping to get them done.
- Had some good internal training on hiring practices and other activities like that.
- Many (many!) discussions with partner teams about adding cross team features in the future.
- Preparing for Tableau conference (I wrote about this last time).
- And then simply doing my "regular" job has been very time consuming recently.
Looking ahead, I
have been thinking about this situation.
If you give an artist a rake as the only implement to use to make some
art, you had better expect to see some leaves.
I'll dive into that comment next up.
Questions, comments,
concerns and criticisms always welcome,
