Where I currently work the team has a set of SOA services that are used by alot of different app teams in the bank. In the UAT environment we occasionally get support issues where people can't access the services - they're receiving 404 errors!
When ever we check the services locally or remotely they're working fine and have been all the time - it appears the problem is in the infrastructure between the app team and the service endpoints. This doesn't really help our perception to rest of the bank and it's a bitch to resolve!
So we've come up with a name for the services 'Schrödinger's Services' - by the act of observing the services we've confirmed they're operating correctly and they then work for the app team as well. This happens every time we get this support query.
Check out wiki for the origin of the name.
