HCD.12:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-pattern	Better move
“The names changed, so this is transfer.”	Show which unfamiliar condition could make the old response wrong.
“Every test contains a hidden error.”	Include complete evidence that requires a justified positive action.
“I named the Method, and the person selected it.”	Report application after a cue; preserve selection as a separate question.
“The changed case failed, so the old capability is gone.”	Preserve the old envelope and locate the failed adaptation or missing prerequisite.
“Reading a new source proves retention.”	Report learning with that source and its supplied contribution.
