(engineer representing the buyer). Only if the software engineers made mistakes. If they wrote the software correctly against the requirements, then there would be nothing to test. Then again, that assumes that the buyer knew what they wanted and wrote the requirements accordingly. :-) Matt

Don't confuse testing to detect an error with testing to show the customer that the system is operating correctly. That should be a demonstration, not a test. Unfortunately, since all software systems are still delivered with defects, it does constitute a test. :-) Matt
