"Use Tracer Bullets to Find the Target

Tracer bullets let you home in on your target by trying things and seeing how close they land."

All the other tips I appreciate but embarrassingly I have hard time with the analogy on this one (besides the bullet reference). I mean I think I get it but I can't figure out how it maps to anything I have done. I would say it is like a "software spike" [1] but somehow the analogy description doesn't fit.

Maybe someone has a real world example?
