Out-of-box failure

From HandWiki

An out-of-box failure (OBF or OOBF) refers to the perceived failure of a product that occurs immediately upon first usage.[1] In relations to computing, an out-of-box failure can refer to the immediate failure mode when installing or performing initial configuration on a piece of computer hardware or software. Causes for out-of-box failures include poor quality control, wrong configuration of the product, and bugs/glitches if the failure is software-related. It can be highly detrimental to the value of the brand, retailer, or OEM, especially when customer expectations for the product are high.[1]
