...because I'm a tester, and a contractor. Simple, cost effective, user friendly, easy to implement software is of no business interest to me whatsoever. The only software I like is the stuff that's wildly expensive, clumsy, completely opaque for users, full to the brim with bugs, requires huge amounts of DB tuning, hardware expense and performance testing and is preferably poorly documented and generally tulipe. That's what puts food on the plates at Tester Manor, fills the wine cellars and fuels the contractormobile. Please tell all your friends and clientcos to buy SAP.

I'm loving it. I started here on GIS project which went absurdly well for a while but now along with other contractors I'm being shifted over to a big SAP project, officially part-time, but nothing in SAP ever happens part-time. Rate rise too as for some reason PM thinks he needs 'specialist SAP testers'.
