PracticeResponseReview
Guard against a recurring practice that keeps its form after it stops responding to anything
Definition
Mechanism
A recurring practice, such as a meeting, a review or a check, records what it last changed because of what it observed. A practice that changed nothing over a stated number of cycles is reviewed. Unlike a Loop, which must change state between iterations, the test is whether the practice still reacts to its input.
Invariants
- Each run of the practice records what, if anything, it changed in response to what it observed.
- A practice that changed nothing over the stated number of cycles is reviewed.
