So which team might have screwed up here? Is this a UI issue or a backend/system library issue? What about the previous root account unlock issue?

- threeseed 9y agoI actually put the blame on Agile. A few years ago there was a noticeable increase in the frequency of point updates at the expense of quality. In agile, testing either (a) relies heavily on automation or (b) only tests that particular story. In highly complex systems that's often not sufficient and rarely do security teams for example involve themselves on a per story basis. Personally I think the industry as a whole needs to sit back and realise that Agile wasn't the panacea it was made out to be.
- ams6110 9y agoWell, more specifically the issue is that unit-testing alone is not enough. At some point you have to test the entire system as a whole.
- h_r 9y agoI don't think agile practices preclude running regression suites throughout the development cycle.
- tebura 9y agoI am absolutely agree with you. Agile is not silver bullet and people just don't get it. Also many times it is executed very wrongly.
- raverbashing 9y agoNo, a lot of Agile teams do have integration tests and higher level tests But the TDD cargo-culters and UncleBob fans forget that inconvenient fact and think TDD solves ALL problems
