Hiking Analogy

After doing a hike up a mountain in near white-out conditions it got me thinking that this is a good analogy for approaching a new system-under-test.

You know what it is supposed to look like, what the system should do.
Up ahead is the goal, the end product.
Right now you can only see 100 meters ahead, you see the current function.
You will encounter cliff face - defects or issues

Once at the top you’ll see the big picture can say you have a good view of the system
In order to really know the trail/system you need to do the hike several times in different conditions, it might be hard going but once done it is a rewarding feeling
