The third important step in documenting a problem is to determine whether the error occurs every time a particular action is performed, or if it only occurs after the action has been performed a number of times.
Step #3: Note whether the problem occurred when the action was performed for the first time, or only when the action had been repeated a number of times.
Problems that occur after a number of repetitions of an action typically indicate a resource limitation being exceeded, and provide a short-cut to problem resolution; see Repetitive Action Problems.
