If people can’t even create an account or login, how was this application ever tested? Testers could not have gotten further. I suspect the undiscovered bugs go far deeper, and will be causing problems for years.

The answers to your questions:
1. There was no time to test.
2. Yep.
3. Not just causing problems for years. Probably virtually unusable for at least a year.

The problems may be fundamental. If the Business Analysts didn’t do their jobs, we may have an app that needs to be scrapped and re-worked from the requirements gathering phase.

I’ve been in IT since the early 1980’s. I’ve seen this before. I’ve seen a company go out of business because of an overly complex app that was thrown into production with an overly ambitions schedule driven by management instead of reality.

And any app that is designed to handle the complexities and subtleties of obamacare is going to go bust. If they come out with an app that pre-loads your name on a form you can then print they will have gotten a long way.

Frankly, this is a schadenfreude moment for me. I’m beginning to think we should get out of the way and let Obamacare do its thing. The R’s and TEA party will sweep every 2014 election.
