One think I hate about software is when you must integrate with a poorly documented system.

To be able to code and unit test you part you have to make assumptions about the workings of this system, deploy in a real environment (which can be quite time consuming) and pray.

This is like trying to shoot a bear in the dark, if you miss it the first time it will run after you like a delivery deadline. The only thing you can do is try again until you hit or it passes you by…
