Oregon health exchange turns up heat on Oracle over programming 'bugs'
The Oregonian ^ | Dec. 16, 2013 | Nick Budnick

As Oracle Corp. programmers try to fix problems with its work on the state's health insurance website, Cover Oregon is bringing in outside experts to make sure the company isn't adding new bugs at the same time.

The exchange's interim director, Bruce Goldberg, said Monday he's hiring people with the skills to look at programming code as it is being written to ensure "it is done correctly and we don't have to continue to go back and fix bugs in the system."

Goldberg's statement turns up the heat on Oracle and provides perhaps the most direct acknowledgement yet that the exchange's questions about Oracle's work quality are ongoing, despite repeated new infusions of talent by the firm and promises to make things right.

Bruce Goldberg is "hiring people with the skills to look at programming code as it is being written to ensure it is done correctly and we don't have to continue to go back and fix bugs in the system."

Bruce must've just enrolled in an online IT program yesterday and hasn't taken his first class yet. I hope he is hiring even more people with the skills to look at the work done by the people with the skills to look at the code written by the programmers. That's the right way to do it.

Good thing it's just revenues being wasted and not the taxpayers money. Such an important thing to our liberal politicians that they let the boredacrats sign a sweetheart deal with Oracle and little oversight until (predictably) the wheels fell off the bus...all at the same time.

My one and only experience with Oracle was not fun. It was long drawn out agony.

I feel like the U.S has set computing back 30 years.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

When we used Microsoft SQL Server, Visual Studio, C#, and Test Driven Design we didn’t have this level of problems.

Oregon democrats are missing brain cells. They are also lazy.
They had been warned at least a day ahead that a creek would flood, but they didn’t move state cars out of a parking lot. This cost the tax payers a crap load of money. More than 100 vehicles were lost.
Care Oregon is just one in a long line of money wasting mistakes made by dumb, lazy Oregon Dems.

But Oracle has decades of experience producing systems under these conditions (changing requirements, insufficient testing, and impossible combinations of features). How could this happen with Oracle in charge?

Bugs? What do they want, perfection? It’s close enough for government work.

Failure is not an option!

It comes bundled with Oracle!

Just why aren’t they forced to give taxpayers a refund? Pure theft...criminals.

Hey Oregon!

Better check with Nancy.

There are so many contradictory requirements in this 2,200 page monstrosity, that when combined with the resulting 15,000 pages of Regulation, it is IMPOSSIBLE to program a coherent application.
