Hi All,
Recently I attended a interview for a developer position in
an educational university. They asked me the a question, I
answered somehow but I was not not satisfied myself. Can
anybody reply for it? The question is:
A business user comes to you directly with an urgent
request:: there is a problem with some students not being
able to re-enrol. It appears that ?something has gone wrong
with the end-dating of some previous courses they had
enrolled in, and this is preventing them from completing
their on-line re-enrolments?. Fortunately the user has done
some analysis on the situation, and has developed some code
to change the end dates. They tell you that they have
tested this code in the ?dev? environment, and it works
fine. They are asking you to please get this implemented in
production as soon as possible.
What steps would you take in response to their request ?
Thanks

I need proof of their 'dev' or unit testing. I would ask
them to submit their request in writing either as a Request
for Syst. improvement, a Trouble or Remedy ticket. Once
received, the code must be migrated with a change management
utility from DEV to the QA environmentwhere client testing
is done.It's results must be formally accepted by the client
in writing. Once client acceptance is presented in writing,
it can be approved for migration into production.
Unfortunately ASAP is an untenable position for a programmer
and quality controls must be met along the way to production.
