So, is an activist "Hall of Shame" on "So it is not evil on the part of the managers and 'programmers' - sheer ignorance." an answer? I believe most of these banks/institutions would be outsourcing this work. Could we suggest certain clauses in RFPs which can take care of this situation? Should we suggest a community standardised "Acceptance Testing Framework" so as to resolve this issue more decently? At least then we can ask these organisations to adhere to this framework. anand _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
