Without question, this quote by the great statistician George E. P. Box certainly applies to software development in general and Beta testing in particular. Beta testing is one of the most important phases of the software development lifecycle. Quality, performance, stability, security and reliability are some factors that are achieved by doing beta testing. Beta testing is the best chance to find bugs and usability issues before a product is fully released. While internal testing can uncover many problems, nothing can truly simulate real users trying to complete real tasks.

Domino Early Access Program drop 2 is available HCL Domino 12.0.2 Early Access Drop 2 is available for download on flexnet.

In my last post, I talked about how I make use of Jakarta REST to handle the REST services in the new OpenNTF site I'm working on. There'll be more to talk about on that front when I get to the UI and my use of MVC. For now, though, I'll dive a bit into how I'm accessing NSF data.

Today I had the issue that TOTP was not working fine at a customer site.

After opening a case I received 2 informations very quick informations ( thanks to Neha Bansal !! )

ZFS is one of my favorite file-systems. And I posted before about using it as a backup target. The integration is pretty simple with Domino backup, because it is a simple file backup. Now that we have the new VSS Writer for Domino 12.0.2 on Windows, it is time to look into ZFS snapshots.

On my blog last week recapping Engage, I mentioned the Early Access Program for Danube (Domino 12.0.2). This is quite unusual how early for a release of this type in that usually there will be some form of closed early access program ahead of a public beta. What this shows us is that HCL are confident in the release, but also completely transparent about where the code base is(or was two weeks ago when this was released).

First of all, AdminQ is not a typo. Administration Quick (AdminQ) is new as of Domino 12.0.1 and can be used to expedite the processing of Administration Process (AdminP) requests that affect the user IDs of web users, for example, HCL Verse users. The users must have IDs in an ID vault.
