They did not test-run the code change against a database of the names of previous fliers?
Because if the change reduced some passengers to "can't be booked" I think that should raise some flags.
- cpeterso 7y agoAre there any public test data sets of name corner cases? Given the popular "falsehoods programmers believe" lists, someone could create a public data set of unsanitized name inputs, expected decompositions, and expected round trip result. I think genealogy organizations have published de facto standards for name formatting.
