It's not just testing.
There are even more considerations you're ignoring. For instance, they intend to release another server at some point. You want them to just flip values in a tool of choice instead of writing a script? Hopefully this one gets remembered.
When a change is promoted, in source control it likely needs to be flagged:
- This is a bug that should never have been on P99 and could go in with the release of a new server.
- This is P99 Custom Content (the change you're suggesting)
- This is being released as part of a patch Verant released in the original timeline
I have no idea how they're doing it, but I would take this sort of stuff into consideration, and this is off the top of my head. They've had time to give this more thought, and there is likely more rigor around it than for which I'm giving credit.
It's not a 30 minute, or as you now say 3 minute change. There is no such thing. What you're giving is just a bad estimate.
I don't know whether it would take 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, a weekend, what. I don't know their level of rigor. But I would hope it's more than what you're suggesting. |
The reason they (the devs) have it so complicated is because they wanted it so complicated, when trying to keep "classic" something that hasn't been classic for a very long time.
If devs would concentrate on doing what is reasonable instead of this time frozen "classic" attitude, we wound't had all these problems and this ridiculously over-complicated solutions.
