And They're Off and Testing

Yes, folks, it's another day of testing software with Employees of Major Software Vendor. What fun.

And despite the cynical-sounding wording, I am enjoying myself. I mean, here I am being paid to break a multi-million $US computer program. *EG*

As well, about half the crew that came with the Major Software Vendor Crew is tech; the other half are RN's hired by MSV. So we've got a good mix going on here.

Actually, one of the biggest aggrivations this morning was getting our IT department to respond to some needs. Feh.

Well, as my hubby explains it, they need to have a list of several bugs in the IT dept. until they DO something about it. They also want to test the fix on each bug to make sure it doesn't screw something else up while fixing the original problem. They do software releases, not fix one bug at a time.

And yeah, I have been challenged while talking to the IT department trying to explain what isn't working on the clinical software and why it's not right.
