What do you think ? by Monis Iqbal http://www.agileali.com/myblog/2009/10/16/the-possible-impossible-what-do-you-think/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Monis Iqbal Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:00:47 +0000 http://www.agileali.com/myblog/?p=231#comment-3 Nice post Ali. I agree with your suggestions and points except for fault tolerances and error handling. These completely depend upon the system being constructed. If you are reading your DVD and the DVD-ROM driver is not able to pick up some data then it should try again for other possibilities or options without troubling the user with data unavailability alerts and this is how these softwares behave. If situation demands, then the system should go down/alert/crash on errors or even minimal abnormalities. As for monitoring/profiling, it is a good thing but it should be limited to the domain knowledge of the people who are able to interpret the profiled trace and that is why there are different profiling solutions available for different domains.
