>We have a project that we have been working on for some time. It's approaching a year now. During the development process things seemed to be screaming along and now, at the end we are having a hard time putting the finishing touches on it. For instance, it works on the development machines but throws errors on other machines.

>I know the major problem is our total lack of a testing strategy and proceeding in a cowboy coding style. However, we are where we are.

>While discussing the matter the other day, we were wondering if bringing in an expert would be a good option option. We just want someone to look at the code and either assist in the completion or at least the design of a plan for us to follow that will help us to complete this project. I think the term is mentoring.

>Anyhow, does anyone have any insight as to the cost (hourly or otherwise), usual terms or usual amount of involvment for something like this?

You should give the guys at VisionPace a call. They can "coach" you remotely - not that they wouldn't want to come to your place - but that might be expensive... Their number is 888-904-7900. I've used them and have been very happy with their help.
