As somebody who’s been doing software QA for a living for 9 years now (and did mainframe development for 17 years before that), it’s fascinating to watch the technical aspects of this website trainwreck. It’s clear to me that the entire project was managed about like you’d expect a government project to be managed and that either there was no time for testing, the testers were incredibly slipshod, or the testers were ignored. The code is apparently incredibly inefficient when it even works at all, and I’m not surprised one bit that they’d steal some copyrighted code bits and slam them in there.

I have VAST experience in UA testing - when I worked for MCI many moons ago, I had to design a software platform for my department.

After formulating the user requirements, I hired a good contracting firm to write the code - things were going great and my UA testing went VERY well. Thats when things went south.

The MCI MIS department got jealous of the progress we were making and got my contracters fired - they then took over the project. BIG MISTAKE !!!

Lousy code, missing user requirements, NO beta testing - and everytime I came up with a bug [which was often], MIS tried to claim it was a feature ...
