There has been speculation about a "network failure", whatever that means. If that's true, since desks across Europe were affected, it must have been a LAN rather than WAN issue. But surely such a critical system includes redundant infrastructure that would have resolved that much faster? So we have to wonder if in fact it was something that software testing might have prevented. As always Professional Tester wants to find out what, if anything, testers can learn from the incident.
