Software cannot prove a second person understands it, and outliving its author is precisely what is being asked about."},{"id":"pass-test","n":15,"title":"The pass test passes","statement":"A real call to the venue's forwarded number orders a dish with a required choice, is paid by link, and prints in the venue's own till with that choice; an unpaid order never prints; a dine-in dish is never sold.","assertable":"production","ports":["read_menu","request_payment","read_payment","write_order"],"stimulus":"Three live calls to the venue's number: a paid order with a required choice, an order whose link is never paid, and a request for a dine-in-only dish.","assertion":"The paid order prints in the venue's till as paid, with the choice and the total its payment provider charged; the unpaid one never reaches the kitchen and its link no longer works; the dine-in dish is declined.","stubLimit":"Deliberately unpassable on a stub. A stub till prints whatever it is told; the venue's real till decides what the kitchen sees, and its real payment provider decides what was paid."}]}
