Day 363 - First Production Problems

The testing team was right. They needed more time to test the system.
The first problem found regards product integration and interface testing.

It looks that the data migrated by us is using a key that differs from a satellite system. We checked the data migrated and it complies with the specification, the mapping rules defined and the transformation rules implemented. This was also confirmed various times over the last 4 months by the tests performed on the migrated data.

The other system is sending a different key from the one we're sending.
This is an obvious integration error which would easily be found and corrected if integration tests had been performed.

With less than 3 month from the real data migration, this is not a good sign. Specially because we've already alerted several times to the need of consistent and automatic tests, something that no one here seems to care for except the testing team which, by the way, does not have the power to enforce it.
