re: #369 Walter L. Newton

We have a library of QA scripts for the current application configuration. Any sort of “broad” update, including a service pack update to the backbone software (SAP) requires getting a set of end-users and manually running through the scripts to confirm that everything still works correctly.

There are automated tools for that sort of thing of course. But I’ve never worked for a company yet that is willing to spend the resources on installing and properly upkeeping the datasets necessary to run one.

Then again, I’m working for an oil company, not a software design company.
