There were a bunch of guys on the morning meeting, checking in and giving updates. Pretty light. Steve wanted to know how the scrum stuff was going and how the first sprint worked out. Small report from me to Steve on the progress and lessons learned. We also talked about some of the potential of where we are going and what is still needed. After that, we helped a couple of the guys with some random questions.

Wayne popped on to show me some new unit testing stuff and how he is dealing with black boxes and custom page includes. Lots of page isolation code to help us test things at smaller and lower levels. Including ways of skipping some of the normal includes, so we could focus just on certain pieces. He also commented that he would like to see us move more into specific pages for add modes and edit modes. Currently, lots of our code has both the add and edit modes on the same pages (display and action). We just pass along page modes and then check accordingly. Anyways, he thought that we could gain by having specific pages to help the logic be smaller and more focused. The goal is more modular development and making things as independent as possible.

We then got into talking about testing and wanting to do more and more automated tests. There is still a need for manual or human testing for specific releases. Both Cory and Wayne were talking about scheduling a specific release and getting some key users to help with some of the manual or human level testing. In a nut shell, we have some code that has been deployed on the dev testing server and seems stable, however, the changes are big enough, we want to really beat it up by having some key users really push on it. This is for Wayne's change over from Application.cfm pages to Application.cfc pages (in-line code and auto include to object oriented methods and functions - cleaner, slicker, and more secure). It shouldn't look any different, but it is definitely some deeper plumbing changes (backend code changes). Anyways, they are going to coordinate some of those efforts together.
