Subject: [EDI-L] RE: Beating the 'evil' Testing Fees



I would not mind to pay a Testing fee if I get something better in return.



Instead, from a long plentiful experience, I get:

- Incomprehensible "error messages" for test data that I need to guess what 
they mean

- Wait a day until the system process the latest new test data

- Test data that is not even related to our business line

- Test scenarios that not even related to our business (e.g. test Drop Shipment 
orders, while we don't handle such orders).

- My favorite: I sent a test EDI 856 (ASN) against a test EDI order (850) and 
it was rejected because my Ship-Date was today, and in the test EDI order it 
said that the ship-date should 12/5/1997. A bit of "creative" EDI and fixed the 
issue to pass this Testing phase.
