Rob,
First, I want to give you kudos for one of the best posts on this list in a
long time.
Second, you hit on a spot that is near and dear to me.
Back in 1997 when we certified our World-Wide EDI system with the US Government
ECPN (now GEX, formerly FACNET), we went through extremely rigorous testing of
security, disaster planning/prevention, load capacity and implementation guide
support (send, receive and error trapping). They tested our system for
compliance and were not required to test each vendor that used World-Wide EDI.
My hat's off to Col. Michael McFarren and Cpt. Lebbeus "Lib" Curtis who
designed and implemented that program, true EDI visionaries.
For web-based services provided by companies such as CovalentWorks, DiCentral,
Radley, SPS Commerce, Trubiquity, etc. should only have to test their system
once (per system or mapping update), as all their customers use the same maps.
It is a waste of time (and money) to test the same system over and over for a
different trading partner when it is exactly the same system being tested.
