... and the cadet sent me a screen shot right away, telling me he looked and saw no recorded entry,  (SOP, I tell them to screen shot it, look to see if it was recorded, and if not, give me that)

Is that the exact email you got or did you scrub personally identifiables when you posted?

Knowing our a2 guy as I do, that's a definite scrub job. Also, I doubt that any cadet would have a 123 number. That was issued pre-conversion.

What I was wondering is if the testing system was tossing out garbage output for some reason or if it's sending the email as usual but not recording the results.

Same last three lines. The Cadet was changed to protect the innocent. :)
No test name, no test status, A zero score.

OK. Not that it makes a difference to me because I can't do any thing to fix it ;)

Lets see... National is doing updates on eServices.  They mentioned a new testing system, and other things (NCSA's, DDRx, etc.)  I'd be willing to bet that has something to do with it.  Just wait until the 6th and im sure it will be OK.

updates shouldn't be tested/build on the live version. If they ARE doing it on the live version, the lead programmer deserves to be canned.

It should be done on either a testing server or offline.

That is soooo right. :) The notice about the changes coming, the part about the testing application retaining the [X] Old or New tick box is almost not even worth mentioning. Like that would have been expected anyway.

I have been in contact with NHQ IT about the issue, along with the issue I have seen about getting multiple copies of the same results email.

And, there is a test eServices environment. I helped test the cadet promotions module back when the new leadership curriculum was introduced.

Sir with all due respect,

You don't screw around with source code that people are using. It is stupid. Programmer 101.

You end up with an unorganized mess.

And in Programmer 501 you learn sometimes a "hotfix" on your productions systems is the only option.

Not for a scheduled update.


Scheduled updates = testing
emergency/hotfixes=pushed immediately

Agreed.
Well this is a scheduled update.

Assuming the NHQ IT team is smart enough not to work on an update on the live source code, the problem is a bug. Not because of the update.
