  • Nada.

War On Orange

  • Submitted a presentation abstract to TestIstanbul conference.
  • Going to start splitting long queries into many shorter ones to avoid excess load on ES server.
    • This will make it possible to add the tool to estimate when oranges were introduced ("Orange Seed") without killing the database. May renew interest in the War on Orange.

Round Table

  • Rebooted brasstacks to see if that would magically fix the awful latency when accessing the ES database. It didn't, and a number of things failed to restart gracefully; mcote wrote up a summary (Intranet link) of what went wrong.
    • In the end, IT fixed the routing problem themselves. Access had only been granted to one of the three addresses that the ES server's hostname resolved to, resulting in a connection timeout 2/3 of the time.
  • mcote starting the Automatic Testing Guide, a very short summary of all our frameworks along with a Q & A (or flowchart?) to help people decide what framework to use when they want to add a test.
    • We *need* to keep this up to date. mcote recommends that, every two weeks, the meeting MC goes over the guide to make sure it's not full of lies.
