>> "No amount of testing within reasonable time limits can adequately replicate a live environment of this nature," she said. This is is a ridiculous comment and one that is disingenuously trying to "split the baby" -- not take responsibility for the bungle herself, yet not implicate the administration. She may as well have said, "This mess is no one's responsibility." You can't blame the developers if there simply wasn't enough time to do the project. But for the money that was spent it could have been done. Small developers like myself look at this and just shake our heads. A tight development team funded by a few million dollars could have done this project and had it working and turned a nice profit in the process. I saw the head of a small software company on TV last night, and he pointed out that you're talking about funding, at $200/hour, more than a million man hours of development time -- 500 people a full year's work. This project was just nowhere near that big, including the so-called "data hub". It represents, essentially, a metaphor for why government is do dysfunctional.
