Testing is almost completely impossible now.

I’m sure their work will be much better with their AI cuts hahaha. Can’t wait to hear about how sc--wed up everyone’s pay and benefits are in January when everything goes live. I will be so satisfied since I’ve left. Good luck and plan for some financial instability.
Boedges and Caruso are rolling over in their graves!
The problem with nonprod was that the teams running it weren't understood well enough. Senior leadership doesn't even understand what nonprod is, let alone why it needed a team of engineers and support people to handle it. They kept things running quietly and it was ignorance seeing "quiet" as "wasteful and unnecessary". ER was just an excuse to further the offshoring agenda.
One certain GP said in a town hall meeting this year that nonprod was always broken, all he ever heard was complaints, and pointless because it wasted time for developers anyway. Said he wanted to just see developers do everything in prod, but at least Accenture was going to "solve" things...
The guys I worked with were knowledgeable and respected my time and my efforts, in projects or otherwise. Even if all they could do was point me somewhere else more often than not they were exactly right about who I needed and half the time they reached out to them for me! Accenture doesn't do sh-t! I swear it takes a week to get what I could do in a day thanks to their inability to do their jobs and actually maintain or support nonprod. Can't say I'm surprised, it's not hard to see they don't care... With how much of my job involves nonprod and how far downhill frankly all of the firm has gone this year I'm actively looking to leave. LP be damned.
What really happened with nonprod environments?
Accenture is complete cr-p all around. Their “work just in time”.
Never having things ready and built till weeks after the next phase/sprint starts. Example: six weeks into second phase, THEN they present a critical path zoom.
Two months into next phase, JIRA is just now built out - and it’s not even right?
No one at Accenture talks to each other. Then they try to lead us at EDJ and it’s like the damn blind leading the blind.
Accenture is complete trash. And they act like we are in the wrong when we question them and their horrible ways of working.
And now they want EDJ working nights and weekends to ensure work is being done? Fu-k that. Shove it up your as--s Accenture.
@a3 Yes. The best place to test is Prod and I suggest we all keep doing that.
I got news for you all, its not just contractors that don’t test in lower environments.
Good! Anything to the detriment of this shithole makes my soul rejoice a little...
Wasn't QA supposed to be automated by now?
Explains why our systems are trash. Can’t believe that the leadership is still around.
Be like everyone else and test in PROD!
