Thanks for your feedback.
I'm expecting you guys to deliver the first set of "working" code about two
and a half months from our start date. That code should be testable within
the given constraints of the release. Having a test guy on board to start
writing tests based on the deliverable could be a good thing. It also
doesn't hurt if the test people/person understands how the product is
designed and why its designed the way it is. It might save a lot of
questions later on.
Just my thoughts.
Thanks again for your comments
