Two disconnected systems apparently communicating [modified]
-
In a control system that relies upon inter-process communication it is important to log the messages that are sent for debugging purposes. In the code that sends the message I found that the message that was to be sent was logged, then sent. This causes the problem of indicating that the message was sent despite the status of the connection. The testers who tested this system and reported the problem were told that this was not an important issue and that the problem could not be found by the developers who created the code. Being present during that discussion, I had to walk away. Phil -- modified at 9:22 Thursday 8th March, 2007

It's not clear what problem you're talking about.

I always loved seeing something like that. Makes me think the people who wrote it had Attention Deficit Disorder. "OK, we have an important message to send, log that we sent it, now ... Oh!, Look! A spider on the wall!"

I know exactly what you mean, but please note that there are also people with ADD who CAN program. I know even people who make such mistakes and don't have ADD or a simmilair thing. It's all about to keep your brains under control when you write some serious code. By the way, most time the people with ADD are comming with the greatest solutions for serious problems. This because they do think more widely and see the problem from perspectives where 'normal' people even don't think about. So let's respect each other and stay on topic.

Yeah, and I one of them. If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?

If only ADD was a factor in the implementation. There was a long winded "explanation" of why the code was implemented that way that contained "and, besides that situation will never happen." As all good programmers know, if there is even a remotely possible path to a problem, it will occur. Its only a matter of time. Phil
