11. Retrospective Example
• Well:
• There was time to have UT
• Code was improved because of UT
• Bugs were found because of UT
• 1 Week stabilize was very efficient
• QA was very good and relaxed (UT prevented many bugs)
• Not So Well:
• Some developers didn’t have development tasks
• WSS didn’t work
• We don’t have a local reporting environment
• Want to try
• STD for stabilize tests.
• Everyone should know how to operate Azman
