Hunting bugsEngineers’ Talk: Mr. Bug-Hunting: Bero Brekalo

Talking about bug-hunting has become a regular topic in this podcast. However there are tons of different persons out there using their own approach to handle bugs. All of them might have different attitudes, different approaches and different experiences. And it might be of interest to get more familiar with them and the details they can tell us.

Within today’s episode we have Bero Brekalo as a guest for interview. Bero is one of my very first listeners not directly related to me. We got acquainted after release of Episode 2. We have had a long mail-discussion about debugging, our different and common understanding. Especially Bero’s very interesting debugging tools made me curious.

FloodedHow to survive the email flood?

Everybody has his limit in handling emails. For one 10 per day are too much, another handles 150 without any problems. But sooner or later, everybody of us have to declare: it’s too much.

I have had a time in my life in which I have had to handle 750 mails per day in average. Nobody can say that this is possible to do. But that was the time I started a very strict and consequent filtering and categorization. However it still was too much. The combination of importance and urgency was back-breaking.

Soft ErrorSoft-Errors

Do you have ever heard about Soft-Errors? No, I do not mean Software-Errors. That’s something completely different. I mean Soft in difference to Hard. I first time get into contact with Soft-Errors in late 2011 as we have observed a spontaneous reset within a customer’s appliance. There was no indication for a reset-request, the system simply resetted.

The final in task-force'ing

Task-Force – The final

With episode #6 the mini-series about task-forces has started. Episode #8 tackled the launch phase of a task-force. And with episode #12 you got a lot of details about the most essential part of a task-force – the running phase. And now, in this last episode of the series, it’s about all the stuff you need to do after you have run any task-force meeting or the task-force at all.

In the first step of the task-force mini-series you needed to understand the general pros and cons of a task-force, the intention and your own understanding of the why, what and how is essential.

In the second step I have informed you about all the valid key indicators for a successful launch phase. And I have given you the tools to do it.

Task-Forcing extreme: Volkswagen and its Diesel problem – MES015

/3 Comments/in , /by

Diesel exhaustion scandalSince two weeks the Volkswagen scandal is swapping through the newspapers and the TV. Lots of details are already known, but tons of information are still unveiled. Step by step the responsibles are giving some light into the darkness of this threatening affair. An issue which might have the power for an earthquake in the German car-manufacturing industry.

In this episode I am talking about the technical details which triggered the current situation. I wanted to reflect the current problems without having any idea of solution. Considering the results which are day-by-day shown in the news we can conclude what might be going on behind the scenery.

BTW, I am sorry for any inconvenience with the audio of this episode. In the early versions I have not mono’fied the input, but you were bothered with the stereo version.
