Test Credentials? These looks a lot like yours...

At times, I realize that despite my best efforts, I still haven't gotten through to some of our developers. We do automated web application testing, and normally use test credentials created for that purposes to log in. This morning, I got a call from a developer who was working from home. "I'll just give you my username and password", said the developer.

I calmly noted that to do so was a direct violation of policy, and that I really needed alternate credentials. It looks like it is time to run the "Why you shouldn't share your credentials" class again, with an emphasis on the dismissal for cause part of the policy...
