The Problem

Here is the video that best explains what is the problem here:

Comparable Product With No Problem are blinds that cover two windows on the right of the balcony door.

Critical Thinking

I found the root cause of this problem from a professional fixing another issue with the door. The solution is straightforward, so Occam Razor’s critical thinking technique should be enough to find the root cause. Please post your reasoning in the comments below. All the clues are in the picture and videos.

Last Tuesday, we had our Testival #60 Online Edition Meetup. We had one talk, Leveraging your testing power with Xray — Sérgio Freire, Head of Solution Architecture — Xray, and one lighting talk.

Motivation

This was our second online meetup, and the context changed. Now we can invite testers around the world! The motivation for this meetup was straightforward. At almost every previous Onsite meetup, an X-ray tool pops up in the question or conversation. We had an X-ray talk previously at Testival #51, and it seems that since then, XRay got popular among Croatian software testers. So I invited Sergio to give a hands-on presentation about XRay features. Sergio is Head of Solution Architecture for Xray. …
