Re^2: Windows/Solaris Difference

I did point out there were various reasons for not doing so in this case because I didn't want a lecture on the 'right' way to do stuff. :)

Yes, in an ideal world the work would have been tested on an as live full volume environment by an independent third party (not the developer) with a full suite of regression tests.

But there you go!

I know you said there were various reasons, and I wanted to point out that in my experience the pain of arguing/battling against those reasons is lesser than the pain of continually breaking production. Whoever manages the risk in your company could be a good person to get in the loop if you continue to get refusals of either an account or a brand new box for testing. I also suggested free ways of achieving an in between result using VMWare that requires only installation approval--if that is an issue I refer to the previous paragraph. There you go ;)	[reply]
