Re: Middleware / testing
"So it finally got put into use & deployed after all this time?"
No, that particular piece of software got permanently shelved. Its functionality was eventually built out and implemented during a different project, though, using a different vendor.
The main reason for failure here was that one of the guilty vendor's core middleware software products (which my project was set to utilize) was itself full of bugs, so they did the first pass at project implementation themselves and had to rig the test results. If they pulled a similar stunt at TSB then no wonder there was a meltdown.
