Robert Dewar says that witness testing for Ada validation costs on the
order of $20,000.  That probably depends on the AVF doing the testing.
I think you might find that some AVFs can do testing of a single
implementation with no complications for $12,000 or less.  As in many
areas, it pays to shop around.

(Yes, I know what "on the order of" means.  However, orders of magnitude
aren't terribly useful in talking about competitive pricing.  Forty per
cent savings might be.)
