Summer 2023: NVMe FDP Team
This team of individuals spearheaded an incredible development process from beginning to end. When each student in the data center team really jumped in, what started as developing test plans became a successful adventure.It was very clear that this group put a lot of effort into examining the TPs and any available documentation related to FDP, demonstrating their strong commitment to developing an effective and successful test plan. The group rapidly acquired the ability to write tests according to the specification and then quickly implemented them, far surpassing expectations. Creating a fully flushed release by the time a proof of concept was planned to be released. More importantly than the timeframe, was the quality of the tests and developed scripts. What this group has done very well is tailoring and creating quality additions to the Interact tool for easy support and extension for future generations. For the time, effort, and quality of work this team is well deserving of the nebula award.
