Detesting technology for technology's sake, we attempt to sieve the good from the bad and forsake the mediocre.

Wood! Duct Tape! Words! I Like This Game.

From "There, I Fixed It," we have this shiny fix of a hole in the floor. How would you test this? Is it usable?

New Exercise for the Readers

After recently learning of the Weekend Testers group, I thought it might be interesting to apply the same concept to a less technical system under test.  I believe that quality assurance and testing principals should be applicable in a broader context to validate their usage in the narrow context of software development.

Over the next few weeks, a few "fixes" displayed on sites such as "There, I Fixed It!" and "FAIL Blog" will be reprinted here.  Please explore how these fixes would be tested (functionality, usability, etc.) and most likely failure modes.  Enjoy!
