Are you honestly suggesting that a test need to include every single combination of dynamic data and template, for every document, and - for a bank - presumably every user and user interaction? Testing each use-case against the basic system is *most certainly* not something which requires "thousands of QA hours", unless you are telling us that each use-case is so complicated that testing it requires hours upon hours of work - if so, how on earth do you expect your *users* to handle this? It is rather obvious that the tests done are to make sure that each use-case can be completed no matter which browser; not done to make sure every possible document/data/user/browser iteration is perfect. > isn't that difficult.

This bit I simply don't understand at all. [bottom-up quoting snipped] -- - Tina Holmboe Greytower Technologies tina@greytower.net http://www.greytower.net/ [+46] 0708 557 905
