People see this as an act of either carelessness or malevolence which both is unacceptable in an application that collects and stores very personal data on a large scale.
- reader_mode 6y agoI think you have unrealistic expectations of applications developed for public sector - I'm usually surprised if they do core of intended functionality correctly.
- BubuIIC 6y agoThis isn't a project developed for the public sector really. Afaik it's a privately funded, for profit, product that has been licensed by several states in Germany by now. Apart from that the official (indeed publicly funded) Corona-Warn-App did a much better job at this. (They actually did follow all the recent best practices in software-develoment + it's (mostly) run as a free software project, taking community contributions seriously, reacting to feedback and issues, etc.)
- reader_mode 6y agoSounds like a contractor developing something that gets paid with public money.
- still_grokking 6y agoSure. It's made by SAP.
- vangelis 6y agoI've had pleasant experiences with applications developed by the public sector. It's the consulting companies that are no good. Look at 18F.
- drstewart 6y agoI see. Can you talk a bit more about the review process where you work to ensure no unlicensed code is committed? I assume there's either an automatic or manual, rigorous process that's followed.
