Penetration Testing: Pen Test Success Factors

[Attari Attari <c70n3 () yahoo co in>]

Hi List,

For a client to evaluate success of a pen test what
would go down as Key Success Factors. I spoke to one
client and he opined that more issues a pen tester
finds the more successful it is for them and
highlights the quality of tester. They also feel that
if tester has found few or no vulnerabilities, the
testers are simply no good. I know majority of testers
on this list would disagree with this, and right so.

In such a case what we as testers could communicate
acceptable success factors to the client, in priority
order?
