Last night I had the honor to share the stage with 8 other amazing developers to do a Pecha Kucha style presentation.  It was a ton of fun and I encourage anyone who has a chance to present in this style to take it.  It a unique style of presenting.  20 slides, 20 seconds per slide...What would you say?

I spoke on MockBox.  Here are my slides if your interested.

It was great sharing the stage with you as well! PK was definitely a highlight. Thanks for sharing the slides, mockBox will be entering the tool box for us, I'm sure.

Start with one important workflow and build evidence around what it needs to do.

Your ColdFusion Upgrade Passed. Did Your Business Workflows?

The server restarted. The administrator shows the expected version. Your homepage loads, and a few familiar screens look fine.

Would you tell the business the upgrade is complete?

Consider an illustrative scenario: a customer submits an order after an upgrade. The application saves it and displays a confirmation page. But the confirmation email never arrives, and the scheduled process that sends the order to fulfillment has not completed.
