Hi, I totally agree with you guys on the FOSS testing issue. In FOSS, end users are the testers. But we're talking about something critical here....a bank software.... even if the end users/employees test it, a small bug in it would mean a big loss. Company using the software, AXIS here, should employ testers and fix any holes.
