As some who DOES do software testing, there are a few things good software testers do but it depends on exactly what type of testing they're looking for.

  1. Are you doing functional testing ?
  2. Are you doing business acceptance testing ?
  3. Are you doing unit testing ?
  4. Are you going to be using Automated Testing ?

Generally, you will need to analyze the business requirements to create functional tests to ensure that you have code coverage and that the code does exactly what the requirements say. If there are variances, they need to be documented and someone has to determine if they are bugs, or omissions of the requirements (and then update the requirements).

You might consider this person 'special', an ex-US senator but to his employers he is just a talking head and a bag man, nothing special.

So is it of more value to keep the talking head bagman or to toss him to the sharks as a example of pretend justice for being an ego driven idiot who lost control and substantively devalued his worth.

You forget, He "is" the MPAA and the whole reason they hired him was his "access" to current Senators.

The summary didn't specify "traffic safety", so

1. red light cameras increase revenue (that's their purpose, so if they can't prove that, get rid of them)

2. more revenue means they have to lay off fewer police officers (easy to fudge some books and threaten layoffs to "prove" this)

3. more police officers result in better public safety (use Biden's quote about fewer officers means more rapes and murders)

3.5 The Police officers can be used for more "high profit" crimes like arresting drug dealers and users.

This is NEVER EVER a bad thing to do. You should always have email as backup. If they won't send you an email, You send THEM one and tell them that are confirming what they said ("Get CentOs, we don't need support"). Then if the fecal matter hits the rotating cooling device, then you've covered yourself.

It isn't ever a bad thing to cover your butt in case of failure (when you tried to prevent it).
