[dba-Tech] term

Hmmm.  I'm going to guess that that would be creating some new terminology.

This times I've most heard this refer to engineering, manufacturing, and
product testing.  They'll test something to extremes, see what breaks, and
then fix it.  IT does this too, but I think it's called stress testing or
load testing.

I wanted to use it when referencing the type of consultant who shows up just

to fix things that break -- a "break-fix" consultant...

Would that make sense -- do you think the readers would identify with it?
