Business Models
Many were discussed, but Testing was not possible during funded project
Users Feedback
Neutral evaluation of various offers appreciated Often no wide circulation of their specs! Fear to publish results greater than expected Financial support is not the reason High degree of satisfaction with SimServs and suppliers services
Suppliers Feedback
Test Case formalities heavy burden Low capabilities to produce good Success Stories Some prefer being subcontracted Satisfied with Sim-Servs services Ready to pay membership fees as well as fees for services
