Through the day we wrote up documentation, cleaned up code, debugged One Last Bug (more on that later), wrote test plan results, and put together miscellaneous submission documentation.
And we celebrated! Thanks entirely to Rupa, The Awesomest, who secretly planned the celebration for months, we learnt later. Champagne, cake, photo shoot.. I drift..
More on One Last Bug:
Our target was to pull together the submission folder at 4PM, do final reviews, one last test run of the SDN controller and submit at 5. All went well. Until the final test run. There was that One Last Bug, staring right at us. The test was running fine all the way till the very final step of cleanup and then failing on a mutex lock. Horrors - a synchronization issue!! Panic. Adrenaline.
It took 2 of us 3 hours to exterminate that one. A mutex lock was kicking in *after* that mutex was cleared and ofcourse failing on invalid argument. Ofcourse! But hours to the submission deadline, such things are not that obvious at all.
One Last Bug, we got you too!
Back to the title of this post. 200. We couldn't have planned this!
