Here's a question for the client to consider.

You have an existing process which is continually fcuking up the production kit. You have a shiny new version of the process, which your expensive external consultant wrote for you, but hasn't passed testing because you don't know what it is meant to do, or have anyone competent to test it. You have left this completed piece of work for six months since it was completed before testing it.

Would you not be kicking the testing team to get the ****ing thing passed and into production??!?!?!?
