I agree with your position on this. This is a clear test case that should have been addressed more adequately and was not apparently.I disagree. Long before testing, the minute a suit came up with the idea of cancelling a downstream segments if a prior one was not scanned or it did not correctly update the system, what used to be called a systems analyst should have asked what if ....? You really don't have to test this. You know it will occur.Very unfortunate, but in all honesty, there would not be many ways to have figured out issues like this in the testing phase that occurred.An issue this big making it into the production roll-out is both surprising and unfortunate.
Yup, as long as one is not trying to figure out which part needs fixing, there is no need to dissect the problem into its parts. It is an overall system problem.Incidentally, when I used the word system, I was not making a distinction between business and IT. A system is a system.
