    We need to upload his word test scripts into QC – anyone knowing their QC knows that getting the tests into a Excel template and exporting using the mapping grid is the way to go.

    The con-tractor who professes to know QC insisted on using a Word template. Knowing it does not work well I said sure, go ahead, but you will have to work out the mappings which he refuses / can’t do.

    He has 500 scripts to upload, advises this will take months ?!? A team of 4 will sort it in less than a day…..

    Finally, he has TWO expected results per test step and asked me to re-write QC to cater for this!!

    He is now doing phone a friend, and since suggested he has used Defects part of QC once…….

    Anyone pulled a blag, and got away with glory, or suffered death?
    WTF are you on about?

        Chef's executive summary

        "A contractor said he knows a system no-one's ever heard, i know it better, i'm better than a contractor and can prove it .. blah blah"

        Chef's response:

        who gives a sh!t, if you're that good then fix my SQL problem in Technical.. please, i openly admit I know bugger all about SQL.

              It's the phone a friend bit that gave it away.
              He would have had to phone AtW
