That is exactly how they process the source code. The issue is of raising a red flag when
they see the code changing near certification time. They then question how stable and tested is this code. Of course this also relates to other states as well. If Wyle certifies version aa.bb.cc and
then at a later date we ask State A to certify aa.bb.ee, a red flag is raised
and we go back to Wyle to get conditional certification, because the State will
not exceed the Wyle version. That
is why certification must be a constant process as opposed to how we handled it
in the past. We will get though this. Plasma

Message----- Don't bleed too much on
the carpet, Larry. It's expensive to clean. Is it worth while for
them to fully examine the source code of one version and then for Global to
submit a change list for them to review. Then they could concentrate on
one version of source, complete it, then examine the areas of the source that
are affected by those changes instead of starting over. If they are
worried about subterfuge, they can always take the original source,
electronically compare it to the changed source and print a difference
list. When dealing with source code, there's nothing to hide. It's
all right there. Or are the changes so
monstrous that a change list would be as big as the source code itself. IMHO Ian -----Original Message----- I do not see that we have any choice but to continue
testing with 4.06. I will have to
fall on my sword with Wyle to get them to buy into this. Larry J. Dix Vice President of Operations Global Election Systems -----Original
Message----- The reason that we are up
to 4.0.6 is because of bugs that would affect the certification process.
I asked this question to Don last week, about what Versions we should
be using of both GEMS & AVTS. So, I ask once again, which versions are
we going to use??? -----Original Message----- Are there any skeletons (bugs) in the closet on 4.03 that
will cause us problems for this volume test? Also I am not sure it is wise to get too far ahead in
Georgia since they will depend on the report from Wyle. It only means that once we finish Wyle
at 4.03 we will have to go back and get conditional certification on 4.06. Larry J. Dix Vice President of Operations Global Election Systems -----Original
Message----- Yes, I was doing it for
the Wyle volume test. I did not know what version Wyle had. Do you
want me to do it in version 4.0.3??? If so, then I will need to set my
AVTS back to 4.0.3 for this testing, then back up to 4.0.6 for Georgia
testing. Please let me know. -----Original Message----- Is this for the Wyle volume test? We currently have 4.03 at Wyle and I
see that you are setting this up on 4.06.
This could be problematic. Larry J. Dix Vice President of Operations Global Election Systems -----Original
Message----- I go to
record a script in AVTS - CE - 4.0.6 and get the error - ERROR - SEH Exeception
c0000005. I press the F2 function key to bring up the File Save Dialog
Box, enter in a file name under the /Storage Card directory, select OK at Loop
Count Box, then get the above error message. JEFF HINTZ Global Election Systems |
