I like {cfisisku} for QA/testing:

/me gets out his tanru tweezers

I think the notion of 'cause' is key here. The experimental-method
implication of {troci} is, I think, just one way of approaching fault
diagnosis, although it is an important one, but I wonder if {rinka} is
more important. {cfiri'asisku} - "flaw-causer seeking"? There's a nice
symmetry there; one flaw-seeks, then flaw-cause-seeks (then {cikre}s the
software... or {ciksi}s it away as a feature ;-).
