The "dice test" is process of querying for job postings on dice.com related to a new/emerging technology, with the theory being that if there are a significant number of job postings related to the new technology, it is a relevant/in demand technology worthy of learning and eventually integrating into new software projects. The "dice test" is used by Information Technology and Computer/Software Engineering Professionals to filter out the vast array of software packages/frameworks created that are never widely adopted, preventing the software developer from investing in a technology platform that will eventually die (due to a lack of community/support).
I ran a dice test on jQuery, and there are over 5000 jobs: that's a hot technology we need to implement on our websites.

Get the dice testmug. Instead of conducting methodical troubleshooting of a problem, you just try random stuff to see what works. Similar to throwing spaghetti on the wall to see if it is al dente yet.
Those idiots at the Spectrum help desk just keep spaghetti testing my cable modem instead of fixing it.

Get the Spaghetti Testmug. Before a man marries a woman, he may tell her that he is going to Europe for 2 weeks, then take a trip to Europe. The man ceases contact with the woman and if the woman cracks, goes insane, and doesn't know where the man is, she probably isn't going to make a good wife.

Get the Tip Testmug. From Chazz Palmentieri's "A Bronx Tale":
"Alright, listen to me. You pull up right where she lives, right? Before you get outta the car, you lock both doors. Then, get outta the car, you walk over to her. You bring her over to the car. Dig out the key, put it in the lock and open the door for her. Then you let her get in. Then you close the door. Then you walk around the back of the car and look through the rear window. If she doesn't reach over and lift up that button so that you can get in: dump her."
"Just like that?"
"Listen to me, kid. If she doesn't reach over and lift up that button so that you can get in, that means she's a selfish broad and all you're seeing is the tip of the iceberg. You dump her and you dump her fast."
