TB, I tend to agree with AFS. Electronic systems are subject to any number of potential variables. What you cite as efforts that should have been made to test the system were probably made. Don't forget that application software companies get to test their suitability through betas. That's not practical for governments. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMM) is responsible for the ACA system and CMM has a great reputation.
