I see. So I'd like to make sure I'm understanding what you're saying - do you mind if I try to repeat back what I believe you're getting at? What I believe you are saying is that it isn't a good idea (in your opinion) to have developers that are not responsible for developing a particular piece of software to be in charge of creating automated testing for said product, as that is likely to result in the team responsible for building the software to be locked into that third party testing solution? I've got some clarifying thoughts but wanted to ensure I understood your thought pattern.
