snicker test

English to Chinese Science IT (Information Technology)
In essence the change request must pass the “snicker test” in that it is taken seriously as a desirable change.
这里的 snicker test 是什么意思?请高人赐教。

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Donglai Lou (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

窃笑测试

Sometimes this is called the "snicker test" because your idea may well generate a. snicker or two.(www.ciri.org.nz/downloads/Intellectual Property.pdf)

上下文中多处提到 snicker 这个词,我觉得直译出来也是可以理解的,如果只出现一处的话,可考虑译为“初步测试”。

snicker 应该是有小的意思。
