Subject:RE: The OTHER Test - Testing Your Procedures From:Barry Kieffer <bkieffer -at- ims -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 19 Oct 2000 08:52:22 -0700 (PDT)
My wife, who chooses to lurk on this list rather then join in, had a similar
experience.
She documented a process for manufacturing photo voltaic panels.
To prove that her documentation was correct, she went to the factory (yes, they
let her) and followed her procedure step-by-step.
Some small mistake in her procedure caused the robot to pick up large sheets of
glass and happily smash the sheets to shards. Oops! Flying glass, divert eyes!
Maybe someday she will tell the story and join in...
