RE: Failed IT causes major Georgia Blue Cross health privacy breach

This smells of an IT organization with no testing and signoff standards bowing to deadline pressure from outside the IT organization. The software was certainly "tested," but with obviously lacking test rigor and QA. Consequently, when asked if it was "tested," the answer was "Yes" with no ability to know otherwise. While the IT organization is fundamentally at fault, the oversight failed dismally. Unfortunately, the person most likely to be hung is the poor programmer who had to make up test data and test cases because there was nothing else available.

p.s.: This talkback process is almost beyond frustration!
