What affected the reliability of the system?: Resources

Pressures to meet the schedule in phase I (00428) led to short cuts being taken in the testing of phase I (00424). There was not time to properly devise or document test plans (00424, 00428). Throughout the prototyping process the system had been fairly heavily used (00271) although with hindsight both Services (00517) and an underwriter (00699) said that they had not had time to test the system properly before it went live because of resource constraints within their departments.
