It isn't fun, it doesn't give the false feeling of momentum that sitting down and slinging code gives (yes, I'm guilty). Most organizations don't figure out how to do it well ("more" is not always "well"), but they eventually figure out the cost of not doing it at all.<br /><br />I've made a lot of money working with organizations that take on the same amount of new requirements each year, while having the previous year's defects get tacked onto the current effort. When you consider that a defect is just an unmet requirements, you have ballooning volume of requirements each fiscal year. Eventually more money goes into stuff that was supposedly done last year than doing the stuff that supposedly will get done this year. Almost invariably, testing gets its budget, project involvement, and time cut and -- voila! -- even more defects escape from year to year.<br /><br />The cure is complicated, and it is hard. You have the balance between analysis paralysis at one extreme, and hack-and-ship at the other. It takes management commitment to working out the right mix without sticking our collective heads in the sand and hoping it gets better. <br /><br />Your ratio of 1 in 8 shops doing this isn't that surprising. Their not getting it just right isn't either. The few that get it have a competitive edge of one sort. Those that don't can charge beta test fees to have their user community pay to provide product testing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569385167918404048.post-77465961732315331972010-05-26T10:51:32.680-05:002010-05-26T10:51:32.680-05:00The third column which explains the steps performe...The third column which explains the steps performed by the expression was cut off when it was published.

I checked the Users Guide and it specifically states that it can only run a batch POV against one data source.

There needs to be some negotiation about how much testing that needs to be done and how much. That is one of the reasons that I feel that a Test Strategy Document needs to be done at the first of the project. If all team members are aware of the importance of testing, then they can accomplish much of the testing during the design and developmemt stages.Ed Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940647013053161999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569385167918404048.post-10834435378151832432010-04-01T08:15:19.185-05:002010-04-01T08:15:19.185-05:00Ed,

That's an interesting design ...Thanks googler.<br /><br />That's an interesting design question, one that's difficult to answer without understanding your existing application build as well as the business needs driving this requirement.<br /><br />As a potential solution, I suppose you could create some type of formula or calculation that sums asset accounts into summary time periods when the scenario is equal to forecast. Or, depending on the number of asset accounts involved, you might be able to duplicate the accounts into "flow" time balance copies.<br /><br />Again, it's difficult to say without fully knowing your design, as these could have performance and/or maintenance ramifications if implemented. If you'd like to discuss further, please send me a note.Dave Honghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08190324796099800584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569385167918404048.post-7874111521332154322010-03-29T11:02:53.205-05:002010-03-29T11:02:53.205-05:00Hi,
