What did Acklen Do?

• Mapping Assist T Files
  • They did a good job getting most of what was needed mapped. It has been helpful to speed up our process, but nothing they implemented was 100%. There was always something missing in every piece.
• Built Their Development Environment
  • Frontend
    • Absurdly over-complicated
    • Extremely difficult to work in
  • Backend
    • Extremely difficult to trace execution flow
    • Careless processing
  • Deployments
    • Incomplete, always needed multiple reconfigurations
    • Overly complex, required in-depth knowledge of configs to manage
  • Unit Testing
    • TDD levels of unit testing
    • Takes a lot of time and does little good if it doesn't help keep the application bug-free...
