What is Specifiction?
1.
When the product manual and the actual product behavior are miss-matched. Commonly found in software, but can apply to any product, particularly those that need to be assembled.
I tried my best to install the "Widget Accelerator" application, but could not get it to work until I performed the 'optional' install which was required. The box had the biggest specifiction of all: "easy one step install".
The playground equipment i built had the vaguest of instructions about 50% of what needed to be done was not shown or documented in the specifiction.
