Today was our first day in Building U with Caitlyn Holland. We talked to her about her role as a member of the artificial intellegence testing group and how she got to where she is. We also talked about the proccess of how they release monthly updates to the SAS software. We then met with Scott Kell, a software developer at SAS. We discussed how he came about becoming a developer and the path he took. After speaking with him for an hour or so, we went to lunch with a few other people in Mrs. Holland’s department. Unfortunately, Ryan had to leave right after lunch, but he did miss out. I had a talk with the manager named Scott Royce. Scott talked to me about the business side of software, rather than the developing or testing side. It was interesting to see it from another point of view and he really helped me understand what goes behind a software other than the technical standpoint. After this, I observed Mrs. Holland run a few tests with the automatic testing software she developed. Then we called it a day, and I headed home.
