Wrong forum to post.

This is completely unethical.

As a moderator I struggled on whether to release this message into the
wild of this forum, but in the end I thought this would represent an
opportunity to speak about a horrendous problem in our industry which
is acting like a cancer on quality and rates. But first, it's time
to mock Seemi a bit

STATS

The originating email contains the following header field: "X-Google-
IP: 202.59.70.51"
If we issue a whois command on this IP address we wind up with
resolving to an address with the Nexlinx ISP in Lahore Pakistan.
Next, let's take the public information from the email address and see
if we can find someone in Lahore Pakistan with that name who uses
LoadRunner?
Within just a few seconds Google responds with this profile for
Sumaira in Lahore, http://www.linkedin.com/pub/sumaira-faheem/20/24/60
. ~If~ this is the same Sumaira Faheem who originated the crack
request then her employer SigmaTec Solutions Pvt. Limited where she is
a SQA Engineer (Team Lead), should be outraged, especially given the
statements on the company website

"We strive to provide our clients with cost effective, high quality
solutions while adhering to committed deadlines through
Empathy,
Honesty,
Doing whatever it takes attitude; combined with
Professionalism and high standards of business ethics."

Notice those ethics and Honesty references. One wonders if this
applies to software licenses used by their employees. ~If~ this is
not the same Sumaira Faheem who originated the email to this forum
then she has a doppelganger hanging about on the internet who lives in
the same town as her that is stealing software and is likely to cause
her career problems. Sumaira, go find your double and have an
impolite conversation about that person's impact on your career.

Assuming that the Sumaira is correctly identified and her employer on
her linked in profile is correctly identified and this is not a
doppelganger, I would be very very nervous about both your license
exposure and your software results if I was working with Sumaira or
her employer.

NEXT....

OK, setting aside the who in this case, think about what this does for
our industry. Here you have a black market player. They are able
to, but virtue of their pirated software, able to offer services at a
price point lower than any legitimate provider who must pay for the
use of the software. This is before you add in any issues on whether
any organization which pirates software is going to be willing to
spend the money to hire effective people or to train people to be
effective in their role. From what I have observed over 15 years,
any organization willing to engage in the software piracy for QA tools
is unwilling to spend money elsewhere to ensure high quality.

So now we have a situation of (1) an organization using pirated
software which allows them to lower their cost basis for delivery to
below that of any legitimate provider and (2) an organization
unwilling to invest the time and money required to have high quality
individuals who are capable of effectively using the tools.

And your management has just been approached with an incredible price
for this company to handle your performance testing needs with an
incredible price at which management is unwilling to look behind the
curtains to figure out how the wizard is doing the work.

Do you really think this company is going to be effective in this
role? This begs a larger question, which is better: no performance
test at all or a performance test of such low quality that is has zero
predictive or diagnostic value?

This is a rate destructive model which drives legitimately skilled
individuals out of the market and prevents new entrants. This is a
quality destructive model which lowers the actual value delivered to
clients. Rates follow actual value which further cements why rates
have been dropping for a decade in a market where there are not enough
providers to meet the needs of customers. Economically this can
only happen when the low value of the item or service delivered more
than offsets the natural rise in rates caused by a scarcity of the
resource. In short, this Sumaira Faheen who sent the email asking
for a software crack is stealing the money from your pocket, the bread
from your children's plate and the roof from over your head through
her rate destructive behavior.

Thank you Sumaira Faheem for all that you do and all that you have
done,

Hey seemi,

I saw you have crack for 100 user too . Could you please share it. :P:P:P

just kidding ........

it might be possible every one around you using pirated things and it is very common things.

it is better you learn to give up piracy. as a full company name HP is running on these kind of software and many people worked hard to build it starting from X-runner to loadrunner 11.

Give a respect, if you can

and apart from every thing find a better employer, ethical one and don't mind James , he just do his genius things all the time.

Ouch! That's gonna hurt the manufacturer. 

It hurts that they try. But most softwares are ultimately cracked regardless. And Very few gets caught red handed for piracy totally. 

We'd better console ourselves with the idea that if someone can't be motivated to pay they're usually not motivated to make anything of value with it, either. 100 cracked Vusers and not an ounce of talent.

Well said James,
This software theft is a continuting problem in the industry.

I've always wondered why a client would outsource to entities who seem
to have every piece of software known to man - It set a red flag - 6
peeps in a performance testing company has 3 versions of LoadRunner
all with unlimited user licenses, plus, all the Rational tools, the
SAP installs, Oracle, SQL, etc etc etc and they only been in existence
for 2 years. A either they're stealing software or they're getting
sweetheart pricing from the vendor .- which sounds logical.

The client fails to ask the critical question when outsourcing, "Are
you licensed for use of this software?"

That is a completely different issue. There are controller license
models which would allow for Accenture's Indian arm to use licenses
for a client downstream, but if the US arm is thinking this is a zero
cost basis then they are deluding themselves.

True but how does having Contoller in India pushing traffic to LGs in US over VPN tunnel over God knows what kind of ISP connection helps get right sort of stats?  That was my point...

BTW They didn't have TruClient licenses ...

Perhaps we need to improve the rigor of the procurement departments here in
the US to ask that specific question: "Are you legally licensed to use the
software tools for the delivery of this service?"

Which begs another question: Why does it seem the procurement department
staffed with ex-Sales guys who are given a quota and a bonus to drive
rates/prices down?

And...if they truly are ex-Sales guys in procurement, why don't they have
"sales engineers" (like they did when they were in Sales) to actually do the
hard technical work for them?
