ravencallscrowsThere are five— count 'em, five— people in the office today. Our admin assistant, the temp who's trying to figure out our build labelling process, a graphic designer, one other tester and myself.
Thinking i'd do something productive, i pulled all the existing automation from our repository and found that none of the scripts work. Most of 'em won't even compile, because they have syntactical errors or the like. LoadRunner has to be one of the worst-documented pieces of software with which i've ever had to work- it's possible to copy examples directly out of its reference guide (which allegedly tells how to write automation to utilize its different functions) and have them fail to work. Looking around, D., the other tester, is noodling around on the web; E., the graphic designer, is pricing out different options for the new computer mentioned here last week, and S., our admin, is balancing her checkbook.
Looks like everyone feels as productive as i do right about now. OK, so much for working on automation right now. It was a good idea while it lasted, but the motivation is gone, especially since getting it working will entail rewriting all of the scripts. I'm just not feeling quite that ambitious. Wonder when we're closing the place down today? Yesterday we all left about an hour early— i'm guessing today may not last even that long.
