- We need to make sure that all development is following our process as documented in the SMP and software development tickets in JIRA. We found significant issues during late stage development that would all be done if the checklists in those processes were used during development.
- We need to test the samples earlier and more frequently on all 3 platforms (perhaps weekly starting right before the Release process and continuing with the RCs). NOTE that the samples should be run on a clean build without (or before) running preparegmat, to find missing input data files.
- After editing sample scripts and before committing and pushing, run the entire relevant folder so that interdependent issues are captured. (Example: some scripts were deleted that were #Include scripts. If the related folder had been run, that would have been caught.)
