And that's why I don't deal with those questions. The way you phrased it I thought you were asking how Information Technologies (the department, you know the network guys), two departments I've never heard of and QA (the department) workd together. Like everybody else who runs around doubting other people full time on FR you deliberately state the question vaguely so any answer I give is wrong. It's the classing "what's one and one", it can be interpretted as 1 + 1 (which is 2) or 1 next to 1 which is 11; either way the person answering is wrong and the person asking get's to pretend they won.

BTW you forgot Regression Test, Alpha Test, Beta Test, User Acceptance Test, Automation Test, Basic Functionality Test, and ST could be Stress Test or even Standards Test, and of course UT could be Usability Test. Then there's Code Review, Installation Testing, Upgrade Testing (oh gee ANOTHER UT). The list goes on and on. And you have proven nothing except your own desperate need to avoid the topic.
