ITG provided a test consultant to BACS (the Banking Automated Clearing Service) whose first task was to assess and if appropriate challenge a test strategy prepared by Deloitte & Touche (Ross). Recommended changes to their strategy were agreed and the consultant was asked to lead a team to test a particulary complex subsystem of the Electronic Fund Transfer system.

The project manager later commented "His task was made more difficult due to the very late delivery of software to him from the Development Team, putting pressure on him to complete testing in a shorter timescale than was originally planned. The testing was completed on time and to budget, despite these problems, and has subsequently been proved to be of a high standard and quality."

Having completed his assignment, management requested that he re-join the BACS EFT team as project leader to manage the remaining test teams. Outstanding functional tests were completed in good time and achieved the quality criteria required for entry to the next level of testing.
