Not from 2020 but I discovered it this year: from oraguy on making a change in the oracle source code: > - Submit the changes to a test farm consisting of about 100 to 200 servers that would compile the code, build a new Oracle DB, and run the millions of tests in a distributed fashion. > - Go home. Come the next day and work on something else. The tests can take 20 hours to 30 hours to complete. > - Go home. Come the next day and check your farm test results. On a good day, there would be about 100 failing tests. On a bad day, there would be about 1000 failing tests. Pick some of these tests randomly and try to understand what went wrong with your assumptions. Maybe there are some 10 more flags to consider to truly understand the nature of the bug. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18442941 |
