We should also ask developers how they test their labs. An untested lab won't work. Most developers learn this the hard way. I've worked with many developers who have "learned it the hard way" over and over and over again and still insist on creating lab steps that they don't test. It won't work for at least two reasons:
The commands won't work as expected. The instructions to the human won't work as expected. In a course development class I took a few years ago, the instructor had us try a fun experiment. We teamed up in pairs. One person in each pair made a snowflake by folding and cutting a piece of paper, like we probably all did in kindergarten. This person also wrote instructions on how the other person could create an identical snowflake. The developer handed over the instructions and was not allowed to say a word while the tester tried it out. As you can imagine, no two snowflakes came out the same! The human tended to do all sorts of things that the course developer didn't expect. Add that to the fact that the hardware and software will do unexpected things also, and you will understand my axiom: An untested lab will not work.
