“Test like an Architect”
summary
Connects the civil engineering concept desired paths to software testing and shows how observing real user flows — tracking where people actually click, the informal sequences they create, and frequency of use — exposes design mismatches. Cites campus studies that mapped walkways then installed concrete paths with purpose, and pandemic-era rerouted jogging paths as proof that simple observation leads to better layouts. Recommends treating recurring unexpected flows as signals of improvement versus mere oscillation and redesigning accordingly.
