undertested
Lacking thorough examination
Undertested describes something that hasn't been tested enough—whether a product rushed to market, a theory accepted without sufficient evidence, or a student who received too few exams.
The software was undertested and crashed constantly.
The word implies that more testing was warranted but didn't happen.
