Veritest login issues

February 23, 2010 As part of being a Microsoft partner, specifically an ISV, we’re required to have our products tested. The testing organization is Veritest, a service of Lionbridge.Earlier this week, I created a login, and submitted a product for testing. At some point, I may revisit the hoops I needed to jump; through do this – it was crazy.

My vote for worst web site: the Microsoft Partner Program

Nice.OK, so I click the download link (just because I'm curious), and where does it take me?That's right…
