During product development, we're consistently looking for ways to learn more about the product in order to make design decisions. Some of that comes from test.

What do we do when our test results are...surprising?

We talk about some next steps I typically take when tasked with surprises: revisiting the purpose, understanding failure modes at test vs. what we expected (requirements and FMEA), finding a root cause (with the help of FMEA), and deciding what to do next.
