Tell me about it! I was involved, as a customer, when our service provider declared a test a success when it didn't even meet more than 5 (out of almost 100) success criteria. Some applications didn't even get successfully restored. DB2 and IMS never came up. I was in the dog-house for telling it like it was: a dismal failure. Not only from our service provider, but from my own managemenrt chain. As far as I'm concerned, a test is to tell you what's not working, and fix it. But, everybody wants to flee from their auditors and call every test a success. I guess, in a way, finding out flaws is a success, but politics don't work that way. - I'm a SuperHero with neither powers, nor motivation!
