We have a difference in opinion. You think you can't do enough testing. I think there are some tests which counts for nothing. It is just testing for testing sake.
Because we have difference in opinion/ approach doesn't mean you should get personal. At the end of the day people like me who started their career from testing and maintenance have a top down approach. Not bottom up. Bottom up approach programmers migrate from 4GL to 4GL without seeing the stupidity of it. Programming 2 tier thin clients without seeing the stupidity that fat clients are deployed on user machines so when it comes to thin clients how can you replace the functionality on the server side when there is only a database. I have no doubt those project were thoroughly tested and all tests passed. So what went wrong? That's to say Oracle sold it and bottom up programmers program it without first looking at specifications and features. I am proud of the fact I did not write one line of code in a 4GL to 4GL migration or 2 tier thin client.
