I know that feeling. I am now contracting at a bank and I have the same stupid policy in place. No twitter is really pissing me off as well. As a heads up to success for this methodology of agile/extreme design & construction. You need CLEAR GOALS, I mean almost anal will probably get you the most success in the tiny turn and burn that this methodology is famous for. I am writing up the TDD for a 7 task assignment that is due first week of Feb. I state what I am going to do, and in the end of this I have to give a time frame in hrs as to how long it will take me. I know that when I do this a always factor in 1.5 x my hunch. When I start at a new site I have to sometimes give 2.5x because my common sense on how things are done, stored, processed will all have to be learned. But that is necessary to remember in dealing with presenting this to others. What I am working on now: 6.2. Database Modifications: None Required. 6.3. Business Rules: Read the Application Title on existing page when the link is pressed. Depending on Previous or Next, query the ConfigurationItem table for the next respective title in an alphabetical sort. Redirect the page with that new Id value in the URL. 6.3.1. Must set a session or a cookie variable on the CI page to define if the user has set the by Contact checkbox. That same session or cookie will have to contain their Contact ID. 6.3.2. We will add in more details in the search for the Previous Next query for an application because this users credentials were typed into the Text box above the check box or were supplied to the application when the user clicks on the My Dashboard menu option. Because I state what I am gong to code for or against when I present it to QA they can test this a few different ways and define all the other ways the user could do this that I had no idea about. :) Yes it takes hours to do all of this but who can write applications today and not put in this work on the front end? -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
