Like all testing, you do staged, gradual deployments. They did test systems, but they apparently tested the systems exclusively. For example, they tested the luggage system, but did they test the simple issue of employees finding parking? I would have perhaps advised them to have had a week of light public use, broadly known as "the first week to get the kinks out" and then gone to a full-scale deployment. Everyone would have understood and been fine with this. Instead, apparently, they went to a full-blown implementation day one. I will make one comment -- there seems to be a dearth of best-practice sharing in the airport terminal business. Having done a fair amount of travel in my life, I see many airports incorporate their own designs. OTH, Tampa International, one of the best airports in the world, has had a highly successful format for almost 40 years. Yet I have not seen new airports incorporate many of the design elements that TIA has (perhaps there are reasons behind this, but I'm obviously not an aviation terminal expert). Whatever.

How *do* you beta test an airport terminal, or other creation that is too large/unique to build/deploy a test copy of? _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
