Juggling multiple streams both from a testing POV

Multiple streams were necessary but the merging was not well organised.

In the last post we discussed the merger.  It was rocky but eventually everyone had provided their input and we were into Integration and subsequent testing phases.  Obviously, as is usual, some of the problems should have been caught earlier and there was a degree of rework which we could have avoided.  Step’s 1 and 2 did reduce the rework quite a bit.

Step 3 blend all the streams together and test as one integrated whole.  It took awhile but the testing progressed satisfactorily.
