Aren't you referring to the "Pay for the abuse" industry, you know those third party testing companies...??

You may know how much I personally revile 3rd party testing as being a waste of money, an abuse of vendors (making us pay for the customer's EDI program) and frequently a waste of time because they systems are faulty, give poor results, pass things in testing they reject in production, reject things that are correct and are manned by people who seem to understand little about the business they serve or more than the most rudimentary aspects of EDI. We were directed to use DirectEDI to test with Veterans Canteen service and for a change: I didn't have to pay for the torture (that was truly novel) Their automated system actually worked all the way through and was correct (unlike every single other 3rd party test company I've been subjected to) It still lacks that communication with the business which is the #1 failing of all 3rd party relationships but, all in all, I didn't hate it nearly as much as I usually do.
