HF20 - Witness Questionnaire

in #questionnaire6 years ago

Here are just some thoughts on the HF20 rollout..

Who of the Top20 Witnesses did a code review?
Who did some testing?
Could we see your testing protocols?
What are your methods?
How do you start code review?
What are your steps?
Do you follow any rules, guidelines?

What are your lessons learned from this rollout?
Do you think it went well?
Why?
Why not?

Did you do enough to avoid the horrible user experience that happened?
What could you have done better?
What could be improvements in your testing to avoid such mistakes and errors in the future?

How was the line of communication?
What could be improved here?

Why did no one detect such a fundamental error in the testnet?
What are ways to improve the testnet?
Where does the dev team lack experience?
(that is a tough one)
How can in the future improvements implemented so such errors will not occur?

What will be the timeline for the next HF (HF21)?
If none given, why do you think, we don't need a timeline?

Should there be more or less testing?
How long before the next HF should freeze pahse and testing begin?
How many RC (Release Candidates) would be necessary before going into prod?

I am sure, some of you have experience in testing.
Can/would you help?
What are further questions you want to be answered?

and now back into the abyss, because soon the applauding of T20 and STINC will start, how well everything went for HF20

Its strange this issue did not come up in the test net.

And the most important question: Who let the dogs out? Who, who , who?

Absolutely. There needs to be some major grilling going on.

This hard fork implementation was the blockchain equivalent of a dumpster fire. Biggest thing is a methodical test plan needs to be developed and completed BEFORE the changes are rolled into production.

If something like this happened in my industry causing a loss of service of this scale, someone would have been shitcanned for sure.

Hey, @isnochys.

I am not a witness, nor do I desire to be (I don’t have any of the expertise you’re asking for, anyway), but I can guess at what will be said about what happened, because the steemitblog laid it out already.

Expect the unexpected.

I’m not happy about it in the slightest. I have a hard time going after the witnesses in this case or last Monday’s, simply because it’s a huge hard fork and too much to reasonably handle at one time. That said, I’m hoping that they will demand smaller hard fork updates maybe once a quarter, rather than this mammoth deal.

I hope you do get some answers from some of the Top 20. They could certainly see this post at the time you published it if they’re looking for any.

The day we start any of the questions above , STEEM will start to suck less each day...

Can't see anyone answering any of the above..
