Not surprising. When I'm in the integration testing or maintenance phase of an application, each bug is usually a significant context switch -- what steps create the bug, what data interacts with creating the bug, what's the code path, verifying that the test is doing the right thing or that the user reported the correct steps, etc. It can take a while just getting all the info in place to understand the issue, then there's the "do I write a test specifically for this bug?" path, fixing the bug, retesting, running all the integration tests again to make sure something else didn't break.

But the context switch itself can be almost painful and it takes a certain discipline not to wonder off to Code Project and procrastinate for a good amount of time.

Hmmm...speaking of which.... Wink | ;)

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
