HealthCare.Gov Needs Five Million Code Lines Rewritten By Andrew Johnson October 21, 2013 9:13 AM Comments 42
Obamacare’s online exchanges have been riddled with problems since they came online three weeks ago, and those issues may continue for at least the next few weeks. Contractors said fixing the problems by the November 1 deadline set by the administration would be “unrealistic,” according to the New York Times.
From the sluggish websites to garbled enrollment information, the flaws require the extensive rewriting of code: “One specialist said that as many as five million lines of software code may need to be rewritten before the Web site runs properly,” the Times reports — that’s out of a total of approximately 500 million lines of code, according to another expert.
Others experts warned that some of the website’s problem are yet to come. One technical specialist involved in the repair effort said, “The account creation and registration problems are masking the problems that will happen later.”
I think that no organization has seamless opsec.
True. But those of us that DO code in the gov’t world would never get away w/ the crap they’ve been trying to pull here.
Test driven development
Documentation (out the ying-yang) and Reports
Timelines/milestones; alpha/beta tests
‘Best practices’ and always wanting ‘latest/greatest’
security implementation
I’d be out of a job if my ‘production’ code rolled out in the shape theirs is in....Let alone get $ after $, good after bad.
