What will you do if you find a high priority bug and your client wants to deploy the software after knowing that critical bug and you don't have your Developer to fix that bug he is on vacation?

Suppose the product/application has to deliver to the client at 5.00 P.M, at that time you or your team member caught a high Severity defect at 3.00 P.M (Remember the defect is high severity), but the client won't wait for a long. You have to deliver the product at 5.00 P.M exactly.  Then, what is the procedure you follow as a QA in this situation?

In a current project I have had to patch the life out of a few modules (node hierarchy, workbench access and a few more). These modules are now absolutely perfect for the project's needs and are very unlikely to break with future updates to core.  That being said, when the app is handed over the clients will have full (user 1) access to the system and will therefore be warned when these modules have available updates. And they will update them, no matter how many times I beg them not to (oh how easy life would be without clients!).  Is there a way (perhaps in the modules' .info files) to persuade the update manager not to check for updates for these modules?  EDIT  I'm aware of the project status url key that's available for the .info file so I guess I could set that to a non-existent URL but I'd much rather do this in a clean way if possible.

It's been a while since the Stack&nbsp;Exchange team last had an iOS or Android developer, and the development job on the apps have not had any insights for years.  That, however, doesn't deny the fact that there are still many users to them. As a consequence, people are continuing to submit bug reports and sometimes feature requests about them.  If development on iOS/Android apps has ceased indefinitely, what should we do to their bug reports and feature requests?  Are we going to keep them with the hope that development on apps will resurrect one day, or just ignore them and telling users that development has frozen?

Apparently, I missed the email that one of the sites I committed to went to public beta.  Why? Because Email sucks as a workflow tool! [Citation (not) needed]  Valiantly, SE sent me a followup email (Titled "Having trouble accessing XYZSite? - Area 51 - Stack Exchange"). Which I also missed, for a while.  Well, DVK, do you have anything constructive to say, or are you just whining here?  Proposal: when a site you committed to goes to private beta, it should send a notification about it in SE notification tool.   Specific tool could be Inbox, or Achievements list, or even a small banner on top of the site. Small variations could be to add the sites you follow (not just commit) and public beta and not just private beta (or even full live status).   Side note: this should be in addition to email, not instead of it - because some people who commit on Area51 may not be active current SE users.

At my company we have a group of 8 web developers for our business web site (entirely written in PHP, but that shouldn't matter). Everyone in the group is working on different projects at the same time and whenever they're done with their task, they immediately deploy it (cause business is moving fast these days).   Currently the development happens on one shared server with all developers working on the same code base (using RCS to "lock" files away from others). When deployment is due, the changed files are copied over to a "staging" server and then a sync script uploads the files to our main webserver from where it is distributed over to the other 9 servers.  Quite happily, the web dev team asked us for help in order to improve the process (after us complaining for a while) and now our idea for setting up their dev environment is as follows:   A dev server with virtual directories, so that everybody has their own codebase,  SVN (or any other VCS) to keep track of changes a central server for testing holding the latest checked in code   The question is now: How do we manage to deploy the changed files on to the server without accidentaly uploading bugs from other projects? My first idea was to simply export the latest revision from the repository, but that would not give full control over the files.  How do you manage such a situation? What kind of deployment scripts do you have in action?   (As a special challenge: the website has organically grown over the last 10 years, so the projects are not split up in small chunks, but files for one specific feature are spread all over the directory tree.)

In a client-server game architecture, what are the possible ways to verify that the client has not modified things like gfx assets or client side scripts?  Obviously no solution is perfect, but I would love to hear some ideas.  I am thinking something like an hash on all the files in the resources directory. Does that sound feasible?

Is there any way you could revive Guest Sessions in a future LTS distro?  Guest sessions are good security - they give me just enough power to do what I need to do on a daily basis without risking my system. In short, Guest sessions save me from myself.  I had upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04, gotten a problem I couldn't fix and was all to happy to wipe and rebuild my hard drive and return to 16.04.  I can't be the only one who feels this way.

A quick question. We used to have a code coverage highlighted in dev console on which lines of the class are covered and not covered before.   Has salesforce removed this option or do i need to activate it somewhere?

I found a problem with an application on Ubuntu.   Questions :   How do I best report the issue?  What sort of information should I provide?

I have had this happen to me twice now.  I'll be in the middle of working on something that has resulted in me not rebooting my machine for several days.  If Windows 7 is waiting to install updates it'll eventually get to a point where it forces a restart to install the updates.  The problem is that it doesn't notify me or tell me that its going to do this and I've lost work as a result and most recently had a VM become corrupt and unusable.  Is there a way to at least get it to prompt me before doing this?  It used to...

I'm subscribed to the CentOS-announce mailing list and I've read the definitions of the various severity tags such as Critical, Important, Moderate, Low, BugFix, etc. but I'm still unclear as to what really needs to go out and what can wait (as I need to justify an interruption to our regular work to get the updates out there).  So far I've tried to get critical updates applied in our production environments as quickly as possible.  What is the normal schedule of applying these updates? They happen so frequently clearly we can't apply them all quickly because they need to be tested to ensure they haven't broken our systems.  For context, we mainly run a website and there's no extra users on the system so I'm typically not worried about 'local exploits' as much as I'm worried about remote exploits. But I feel I'm still in the dark about how best to apply these updates.  Thanks,

I had question to ask, and is if there is a way to set steam games (more specifically the games themselves, that shows up as launchers or releases; example: payday2_release) in high priority permanently, or at least to set it on high priority every time i launch the game without having to manually open the system monitor.

The downside... It seems like the type of question that would be a duplicate - but I don't see any, so I'll ask anyway. I'm finding it difficult to not visit Stack Overflow for any significant amount of time. I wake up in the morning, and check Stack Overflow at 5:30 am. I check it before I close my laptop to head off to work. I check it when I connect at the office. I check it throughout the day. How do I break the combination? The upside... I have explored more methods of accomplishing tasks than ever before after having registered here and viewing some questions. I've been introduced to many new tools, practices, and theories about development that I can honestly say make me more confident as a developer.

I have an idea for a game that has potential, but I'm not a programmer.  How do I tell this to development companies without having my idea stolen?  All I want from the company is for somebody to watch a three minute long video presentation about my idea and if they see potential in it then we can talk about the details.  I have already sent an e-mail to several big companies that have the expertise needed to code the game, they haven't answered me. Actually the idea is nothing fancy, no 3D, but fun and unique.

So I was running apt-get upgrade on a server when the router decided it had been too long since it last made me angry: It dropped all connection. Moral of the story is to use screen a lot when you're on a bum router.  Anyway, I logged back in and found in htop that the process was still hanging there, still waiting for my Y/n to upgrade (hadn't hit it yet, luckily). Is there any way I can reattach to a session that had been broken off? I ended up just killing it since it wasn't in the middle of package management but it would be great to know for future reference.

It didn't fixed the error. So, how do I fix my GUI update?  For every software I have to install it from command line because I got same error when install software from Ubuntu Software Center.

A little ago, I found  in the review queue. The asker is reporting a bug he found in the android SE app.  The suggested edit proposed to add a second tag to the question to indicate that the bug seem to be present on the IOS app too. I approved the edit and added that info to the question.  Soon after, an user on the Tavern chat room made me notice that this way the staff can't actually mark the bug as fixed until both app are fixed. I am left now wondering... what is the preferred way to handle this situation? Have two copy of the question, each one referencing to one app?   I am especially interested in any info that can provide indication about the staff preferences, ie - finding the posting pattern that is simpler for them to manage.
