Hi All,
Recently I attended a interview for a developer position in
an educational university. They asked me the a question, I
answered somehow but I was not not satisfied myself. Can
anybody reply for it? The question is:
A business user comes to you directly with an urgent
request:: there is a problem with some students not being
able to re-enrol. It appears that ?something has gone wrong
with the end-dating of some previous courses they had
enrolled in, and this is preventing them from completing
their on-line re-enrolments?. Fortunately the user has done
some analysis on the situation, and has developed some code
to change the end dates. They tell you that they have
tested this code in the ?dev? environment, and it works
fine. They are asking you to please get this implemented in
production as soon as possible.
What steps would you take in response to their request ?
Thanks

Answer / csb
I need proof of their 'dev' or unit testing. I would ask
them to submit their request in writing either as a Request
for Syst. improvement, a Trouble or Remedy ticket. Once
received, the code must be migrated with a change management
utility from DEV to the QA environmentwhere client testing
is done.It's results must be formally accepted by the client
in writing. Once client acceptance is presented in writing,
it can be approved for migration into production.
Unfortunately ASAP is an untenable position for a programmer
and quality controls must be met along the way to production.

Hi,
In this situation above answer fits gr8. Moreover u can
urself go thro' the code (CWT) and try to identify whether
it is introducing new defects into system or affects any
other functionality (Integration Testing) and is there any
harmful content like (unnecessary deletes, unnecessary disk
access) etc. These things can be done asap with an expert
team say 4.
Regards
