The idea of this exercise is to make sure that we capture every possible scenario for the desired feature; thus reducing the number of defects and avoiding missing features. A lot of times, testers open defects for scenarios that actually do not reflect the real world scenarios. I do understand that the design should be done in such a way that the user is unable to break the application. However, our application is highly flexible and customized for each client. Not all the functionality is applicable for the all the clients, so we find a middle ground where we see if such a scenario can happen in the client’s workflow. And, if not, then it’s the user’s training issue.

Initially, I liked the idea, thinking this process will familiarize each developer thoroughly with the specific requirements and reduce bugs that are missed during development. But as I am doing this now, it’s getting too detailed and I am finding it difficult to stay focused. Personally, I would’ve prefered the iterative process to start building something in smaller pieces, but we have strict deadlines and the scope lock is a must before the development can begin. Any delay spawns a process of deviation for the project.

Any thoughts…if this is an approach in the right direction? Or, it’s just me who is feeling lazy on Friday .

This may sound exciting to some people, but being more peace oriented, I’m concerned about working for military customers.? Perhaps that can be avoided; there are plenty of civilian commercial projects too.

Also, some say that simulation software development is a fairly closed world where you practically have to already be a member to join.? But then, I’m not sure what to believe, as I’ve never been in this world and have only a sketchy impression.? (I don’t give a lot of weight to what recruiters say.)

What I like about simulation is the combination of software development with 3D graphics, geometry, physics and high-performance number crunching.? The pay is good, too.? So I don’t know if it’s wise to go for a job in simulation.? Has anyone been in this world, who can describe what it’s really like in there, and answer my concerns?

Hope we will have nice time here on Graphics World.
