Everybody test markets new products.

You’d think test marketing new software would involve trying to overload it with customers.

And you think you’d discover at that point that it wouldn’t take even ONE customer.

Accounts I've read are that they did load test it and it failed to handle even a few hundred concurrent connections, but the went ahead with it anyway beacuse they didn't have a choice.

It's almost like the thought it would work in production because the computers wouldn't dare dissappoint The One.

For about 10 years I was an Online gaming beta tester (Tested everything from Everquest to Warcraft.)

One of the main tests I was part of in every game was stress testing the servers including the login server.

There is noway this bunch of clowns actually did a valid stress test and gave this turd the go ahead to go live.
