When something is brand-new, fresh off the assembly line, there is typically a period of testing and shakedown to work out all the bugs and make sure everything's working the way it should and ensure a smooth entry into service. The larger and more complex it is, the more tests it needs before its deployment. In this case, however, that important step is skipped and it's put directly into service, untried and sometimes unfinished.
Why? Because it's needed, right now! Never mind that some subordinate is bound to complain, "But Sir, it's not ready yet!" Their warnings can be ignored for now, even though you might have to regret the results later.
This is common in military settings, where one side finds itself lacking in resources or up against something its current assets can't handle and so starts deploying things that really aren't ready yet. Ships that have just barely finished being built, and still have the paint drying, if that, tanks that were just designed suddenly being fielded, weaponry that has just been assembled, or at times computer systems that are compiled and implemented. In more peaceful time, it can be caused by Executive Meddling: The experts wanted to finish it and do all the usual tests, but their boss "wants results" or is trying to show off for investors/board members, and forces the project ahead or demands a demonstration before they're ready. Naturally, things Go Horribly Wrong.
This can cause more problems, as parts of it will not be up to standards or even active at all. Field installations will then be required to get finished in days or less what might take weeks at a dedicated facility. Rushed programs will have many undetected bugs, and be unstable.
If the characters are heroes, this serves to point out how cutting edge the weapon is and may involve a Million to One Chance. If the one giving the order is a villain, then it shows how desperate he is to defeat The Hero and his Ragtag Band of Misfits, and if they are just clueless NPCs then this is the cue for the experiment to Go Horribly Wrong. Can also be used to show that Science Is Bad. Other times, it's openly acknowledged that this is a bad idea, but the situation is so dire that all the other options are even worse ideas. In either case, chances are once the command is given, an Activation Sequence showing it powering up will follow.
See also: Unpredictable Results, Flawed Prototype, Imperfect Ritual, Christmas Rushed, Obvious Beta, Chance Activation, and Implementing the Incomplete. Contrast with Super Prototype, when the Alpha version is better than the finished product, or Break Out the Museum Piece, in which the characters have to use a piece of equipment that is so old or outdated it's no longer in regular service.

Meet the Medic shows the first field deployment of The Medic's Ubercharge in Team Fortress 2. Long story short, after a hilarious Meat Grinder Surgery and a Literal Change of Heart, Medic and Heavy walk out to face the incoming army of BLU Soldiers. Heavy expresses concern if the device would work, to which Medic replies he has no idea either. It works, but the device shorts out soon after, requiring The Medic to tune down some of its functions.note In-game, it's expressed with how the Ubercharge no longer protects against knockbacks, which is given to the Quick-Fix instead.

In Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW), the second major arc has Eggman create a "Metal Virus" which turns its target into a "Zombot" and can be spread via the touch of others. However, once he was satisfied that it spread like he wanted, he quickly threw it into mass production despite warnings from his apprentice, Starline, that he had only just created the virus and should run more tests to be sure there's no unforeseen effects. Eggman claims he can fix it in post once it has done its job of infecting the world. Naturally, it doesn't take long for control to slip from his grasp.
In the "Overpowered" Arc, Surge steals a device known as the Dynamo Cage, which is meant to absorb Wisp Energy. Orbot warns her that Eggman has yet to perfect the device, but she ignores him. Indeed, while it gives her a nice power boost, it ends up worsening her Sanity Slippage, making her hallucinate the late Dr. Starline. In the end, she overloads the device in the middle of trying to shock Sonic to death and it explodes in her face, knocking her out and saving Sonic's life.

In issue #30 of Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), Robotnik and Snively are testing the Transdimensional Teleporter in order to perfect two-way travel. However, before activating the device, Snively wants to run some final diagnostics. Robotnik gets upset at the idea of "a test of a test" and activates the machine himself – and ends up in the Void. As a side effect, the roboticized Uncle Chuck who was the intended test subject regains free will.

In the Honor Harrington series:
During the Second Havenite War, many Manticoran ships were deployed without completing full builders' trials, and sometimes with shipyard reps still aboard.
In the first novel, Honor's ship was stuck with a weapons mix that didn't work because the First Lord didn't understand Admiral Hemphill when she tried to tell him that Fearless wasn't intended for deployment, it was meant as a test platform for her efforts to make the Awesome, but Impractical grav lance more practical. Hemphill didn't get a chance to explain this to Honor until years later.

In The Power of Seven, this basically applies to Hermione's plan to negate the horcrux in Harry without just killing him; she, Ginny and five other witches will perform a ritual that will spiritually bond each of them to Harry with the intention of essentially negating the horcrux in his head by exploiting the power of love. Hermoine had to seriously dig to come up with the basic idea for the ritual, and even then had to do a lot of magical math to complete it. Such a bonding has never actually been done, remains largely theoretical, and they have no idea if it will even work, what the side effects might be, how the bonds might change as more and more are added, what precisely the bonds are capable of doing... There are a lot of variables in play, but when the alternative is letting Harry die, none of the girls are willing to consider that option and most other figures in Harry's life accept this when faced with such an alternative.

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) episode "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" Donatello decides that to investigate the Foot's activities at the docks, he whips out a hang glider he built. When Leonardo realizes that Don hasn't tested the glider, Michelangelo points out, "Dude, how's he supposed to test a flying machine in the sewers?" Although there's a brief kerfuffle with Don not accounting with local winds, the glider works well enough...up until the Foot shoot it (and him) down. (Don't worry, Don makes it out unharmed)

In a Season 4 episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), a bed-ridden Shredder demands Baxter Stockman to give him the rest of the mutagen, so that he can regain his strength, and defeat Splinter and the Turtles. Baxter warns him that the mutagen has not been properly tested, and is too unstable, but Shredder being Shredder, doesn't care, and forces Baxter to him give the mutagen, being threatened by Shredder that he'll tear his limbs off.

Batman: Arkham Series:
At one point in Batman: Arkham City, you call up Alfred and tell him to drop off a grapnel upgrade that will allow you to travel farther and faster. Alfred warns Bruce that Lucius Fox hasn't declared it ready for field deployment yet, but Batman insists that he can handle it (justifying the difficult Pass Through the Rings missions that unlock it). As far as the gameplay is concerned, the upgrade works fine.
The Extreme Environment (XE) Batsuit in Batman: Arkham Origins' "Cold, Cold Heart" DLC story is a prototype, thermal system-equipped Batsuit still in development, but Batman is able to put it on and use it just fine, and he has to since otherwise he doesn't have a hope in hell of beating or even surviving Mr. Freeze without it. The trope is played with here, as it's Batman who argues against using it as it's still unfinished and untested, Alfred insisting on its usage, and that Batman has Alfred finish it up and run some tests before deploying it.

Airplane II: The Sequel. Ted Striker decides that he'll have to take the shuttle to 0.5 Worp (half the speed of light) in order to get back to the Moon before they run out of air. He's warned that the Worp drive has never been tested and that the ship will apart at that speed. It's later mentioned that no one has flown at that speed before. Of course, it works anyway (although it does temporarily make all the passengers look like Richard Nixon).

Fullmetal Alchemist:
When Sloth busts into Fort Briggs from under the floor, the garrison fights back with everything they have, thinking he must be a new weapon deployed by the enemy nation of Drachma. When their standard equipment doesn't slow him down, they send in a few tanks, explicitly mentioning that they're still in development by their R&D department but are confident in the tanks' abilities.
When the villains are losing The Coup on Central, some military guy decides to awaken the doll soldiers. A scientist warns him that the tests aren't done yet, he ignores the warning, activates them, and the doll soldiers eat them both. Of course given who was behind their design, it's not clear if they weren't functioning exactly as intended.

The Trace machine from Another Code, which was only just finished mere days before the start of the game. A little more justifiable than most, given the need for a human test subject and Richard was the only one there when it was finished. The earlier model in the second game averts this, as it was tested and worked perfectly.

King Of The Rocket Men. When Professor Millard gives his newly invented atomic-powered rocketsuit to Jeff King, he advises him to do a few test flights low to the ground. Before he has a chance to do so, the villains steal a truck transporting an experimental "interceptor torpedo" (guided missile), knocking out Jeff's security and immobilizing his car, so King has to get the rocketsuit out of the trunk and use it to chase after them, especially when the torpedo gets launched towards a nearby city.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: In the movie, Precia Testarossa was told by her superiors to have her experimental reactor ready for a full-power activation in a week. She tried to explain that she needed a month to complete the construction and testing, but they decided the stock price impact of getting done three weeks early was more important than making sure the thing would work. The reactor suffered a catastrophic meltdown upon activation... resulting in the death of Alicia, Precia's daughter. Thus causing Precia's very demonstrable insanity as the Big Bad of the story.

Evangelion 303: In chapter 3, Nerv wanted to use a new, experimental aircraft to perform a reconnaissance mission. Maya points out that jet's never been flown, even for a test flight, and they're expecting it to fly to the other side of the world, and back, at nearly 4 times the speed of sound. Ritsuko admits that she feels the same way, but the Commander's going before the senate about the project's budget soon and needs an "ace in his pocket"; Plus, they don't know how much time they have left until SEELE's endgame. So, they launch.

From Gundam 00, Setsuna decides to launch the titular 00 Gundam when the Ptolemios comes under attack from the A-Laws. This despite the fact that the machine had failed to clear even preliminary tests as they just couldn't get the engine setup to work. Setsuna was able to get it working by brute forcing it with Trans-AM, but even then it remined a temperamental machine at the best of times. By contrast, the later 0 Raiser upgrade was allowed to be properly tested and configured before its first launch and was far more reliable.

Rick from Rick and Morty pretty much makes this into a habit, half the time he's utterly drunk off his ass when making his creations, so when he sobers up, he usually has no idea how they work or at the least not the full implication of their capabilities. Best showcased in "Rick Potion #9" when he gives Morty a love pheromone to impress a girl. Since this was going on when a flu was spreading around at the time, it ends up mutating and causing people to turn into mantises. When trying to fix the problem, rather than testing their hastily whipped up cure on one of the mantis-mutated people to work on the kinks. They instantly spread it over the town... where it mutates them into horrendously mutated creatures and effectively causes the end of the human race (save for their family who barely survive). The duo – or at least Rick – ultimately say "screw it", find a dimension where the events still happened except Rick managed to find an effective cure for the problem, but that realm's Morty and he are killed in a lab accident and effectively replace them.

Neon Genesis Evangelion:
The first time it's used, Ritsuko protests that the dummy plug system wasn't ready but Gendo Ikari thought it was sufficient. It does manage to kill the Angel, but its use drives Shinji into a rage.
There's also the Evangelion units themselves. They use Unit 00 and Unit 01 in combat, even though they are a prototype and test type, respectively. Predictably, both units have numerous issues like going berserk.

In The Martian, NASA's engineers skip all the usual safety checks and reviews in order to get the rocket carrying supplies for Mark Watney onto the launchpad within the window when the rocket can reach Mars from Earth. The rocket promptly goes off-course and explodes because the vibrations from launch liquified the protein cubes and set up resonances that destabilized the rocket's flight, something that almost certainly would have been caught if there had been time for proper checking.

Final Fantasy XIV has the Garlean "Mark IV Anti-Eikon Warmachina", more commonly known as the "Sapphire Weapon". It's a submersible/floating weapons platform that, according to its design specs, has incredible damage output, remarkable resilience, and surprising stealth when immersed. There's two main problems, though - first off, it's not on the player's side, and secondly, it's still unfinished. The pilot has to use Oversoul to even get it to work at all and as a result dies once the Weapon is defeated - and would have even if he'd won.

Let My People Grow!: Doble subversion. When Superman develops a device to enlarge the shrunken city of Kandor, the Kandorians point out they need an assurance that it will work. Superman decides to use himself as a guinea pig, and he checks the ray works fine. However, when he uses it on Kandor, the buildings crumble down, and he realizes he did not test it on inorganic matter.

Iron Man. Tony's first flight could be charitably called a miserable failure that he barely survives. It does, however, uncover a previously unknown flaw in the armor's design that comes into play later.
While the above is somewhat of a subversion, since it was a test flight, it's played straight later on: Stane's own Iron Monger suit is completely untested, yet he takes it into battle against Tony and gets the upper hand, until Tony exploits the above-mentioned flaw that Stane, having not tested his own armor, knows nothing about. Specifically, the flaw is that the suit ices over at extremely high altitudes:

As of Iron Man 3, Tony's become erratic from PTSD and has been rushing through prototypes without giving them the proper testing time. His successes in the film were generally earned in spite of the flawed tech instead of because of it - in fact, a number of the action scenes avert this trope because the armor is so unreliable he doesn't use it at all.

Not a device, but a chemical. In Evolution (2001), the heroes are trying to figure out how to stop a hostile alien lifeform that threatens to make every Earth lifeform extinct in a matter of months due to its rapidly-evolving nature. The military decides to obliterate the aliens with tons of napalm. However, the heroes accidentally discover that fire only speeds up the evolution. Then the protagonist looks at a periodic chart and determines that the aliens must be susceptible to selenium poisoning by going two rows down and one to the right of nitrogen (the aliens are nitrogen-based), same as arsenic (two down and one right from carbon) is poisonous to humans. So they load up on selenium (in the form of Head & Shoulders shampoo) and take a fire truck to kill the aliens. It works. They never bothered to test their theory on any alien samples beforehand.

The Japanese aircraft carrier Shinano was originally laid down as the third Yamato class battleship, but had her design changed during construction to serve as an aircraft carrier note if this seems odd, consider the American carriers Lexington and Saratoga had the same thing done, originally designed as Battlecruisers, and the British carrier Furious actually served as a Battlecruiser for a brief time. Shinano was commissioned on 19 November 1944, and ordered to sail from Yokosuka to Kure to finish fitting out and to take on aircraft. Her commander requested a delay, given that many of the ships' Damage Control systems were not yet ready (she was missing pumps for the fire suppression systems and water-tight doors, for one thing). His request was denied, Shinano put to sea on 28 November, at six in the evening. Less than three hours later, she had drawn the attention of an American submarine, Archerfish, which tracked her for several hours until an ideal firing solution was found at about three in the morning. Shinano was struck by a spread of four torpedoes, and finally sank just before eleven in the morning with more than half of her officers and crew perishing. To make it all worse, the Americans hadn't even known of Shinano's existence until Archerfish caught her en route to Kure. She had been out to sea for less than a day before she was discovered, engaged, and sunk by the Americans. Another factor in the sinking was that the watertight compartments that were equipped with doors leaked like sieves because they hadn't gone through air testing for leaks. Another stellar example of why doing this is a bad idea.

Averted thus far in the reboot films. In fact, in Star Trek (2009), the Enterprise is among a whole fleet responding to Nero's attack on Vulcan, and actually gets there last... though the delay saved the Enterprise, as the Narada wiped out the fleet the moment they dropped from warp, and Nero didn't expect the Enterprise to show up afterward.

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: Berg Katse (or Sosai X) came up with the idea to lower the Van Allen belts down into Earth's atmosphere and demand Earth's surrender. However, at the time they launch the missile to lower the belts, the missile that carries the payload to reverse the effect is unfinished, particularly missing its guidance system and autopilot, even though Katse knows that if the Van Allen belts aren't sent back in two-three days at most, the Earth will be unusable.

Going to Gyro Gearloose, he chooses a prototype gum that allows the chewer to float, despite Gyro's warnings that it's untested. Unfortunately, the gum works too well, and now all of Duckburg's citizens can't get back down.

The creator of the suit, John Henry Irons, initially wants to conduct further tests, fearful of potential side effects the suit's neural interface could cause, but Lex ignores him and proceeds with a public demonstration of the prototype. Irons' fears soon prove justified when the pilot of the suit, Corey Mills, becomes addicted to its power and spirals into Police Brutality.

Spider-Man: The Animated Series: In Season 2, Spider-Man begins to suffer from a mutation disease, the result of his body mutating even further from the spider bite that gave him his powers. Dr. Mariah Crawford manages to work out a serum that seems to work, but initially wants to wait and fully test it to avoid any side-effects, warning it may depower Spidey or even kill him. Spidey, desperate to cure his mutation, refuses to wait and demands she hand it over, losing his cool and trashing her lab until she gives in. Sadly, Crawford's warnings prove right; Peter takes the serum, but rather than cure him, all it does is accelerate the mutation's progress, causing him to sprout four extra arms. By the next episode, his mutation has fully progressed, transforming him into a monstrous Man-Spider.

When Kirk and company steal the Enterprise from Spacedock in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Starfleet deploys the untested Excelsior to stop them. It fails spectacularly due to Scotty's sabotage (complete with Wacky Sound Effect). A number of clues in later movies, such as Excelsior's apparently lengthy stay in dry dock, and her visibly extensive overhaul in the in the interim before the ship's next major appearance, suggest it wouldn't have had much luck even without Scotty's tampering (which was confirmed in later, non-canon Trek novels).

The Avengers (2012): Tony's old Mark VI suit is too trashed to rely on anymore, so he demands that J.A.R.V.I.S. prepare his still-in-testing Mark VII. The new suit arrives just in time to save his life and works perfectly during the whole battle. Of course, the Mark VII being an incremental upgrade of by then well-proven technology means there was at least theoretically less that could go wrong.
As of Iron Man 3, Tony's become erratic from PTSD and has been rushing through prototypes without giving them the proper testing time. His successes in the film were generally earned in spite of the flawed tech instead of because of it - in fact, a number of the action scenes avert this trope because the armor is so unreliable he doesn't use it at all.

Likewise played with in Avengers: Endgame, again Ant-Man related. Scott tells the others of the Quantum Realm which could be used to time travel, get the Infinity Stones before Thanos had destroyed them and fix the effects of Thanos's "Snap" that wiped out half the universe. The problem though is that they don't have much Pym Particles to really be thorough in this theory. They test it on Scott which causes him to age and de-age for a bit, and only have enough particles to spare for a single test on Clint Barton (sending him back to his family farm where he takes a baseball glove back to the future) before figuring that'll have to be good enough and go through with the mission. Luckily it works.

In Iron Man, quite a few of Tony Stark's new armors have to be deployed as soon as they're finished rather than allowing him to test them in safe conditions. This is generally justified as he needs to use the new suit to defeat whatever foe rendered its predecessor useless, or to deal with a new situation as fast as possible.

In Pacific Rim, the Mark I Jaegers were thrown together in 14 months. Unfortunately, this meant that certain features were skimped, including radiation shielding for the pilots. As a result, Marshall Pentecost (the Big Good, a former Mk. I pilot) is Secretly Dying of radiation poisoning.

This Trope is Deconstructed with the Adventures of the Gummi Bears episode "Day of the Beevil Weevils". Tummi tries to build a device using the Great Book's instructions that attracts bees, hoping they'll pollinate the Gummi Berry crop faster. However, he takes a lot of shortcuts to make the bullroarer-like device (using the wrong type of wood, the wrong number of holes, the wrong size holes, and the wrong length of rope). Still, the sound it makes resembles bees, so he tries it anyway. It does not work, and instead of bees, summons a swarm of ravenous Beevil Weevils that destroy the entire crop. (Finding a way to replace them leads to the second half of the story.)

Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM): In "Sonic Conversion," the Freedom Fighters manage to whip up a working deroboticizer, and when it seems to work on Bunnie, Sally initially wants the group to wait 24 hours so they can make sure the effects will last. Sonic, however, refuses to wait and rescues Uncle Chuck, subjecting him to the process as soon as possible. Sally's fears prove justified when it turns out the deroboticization is only temporary, leading to both Bunnie and Uncle Chuck reverting back to their robotic forms.

Stargate SG-1:
The Asgard ship O'Neill was barely out of drydock before it was used to draw a Replicator fleet away from the Asgard homeworld and blown up.
The Russian BC-304, Korolev, was rushed into service to help fight the Ori invasion at the Supergate, and was destroyed in the battle.
The same may have happened with the Chinese Sun Tzu in the Stargate Atlantis Grand Finale, as it received far worse damage than the American Apollo and might end up being scuttled.

At one point in Batman: Arkham City, you call up Alfred and tell him to drop off a grapnel upgrade that will allow you to travel farther and faster. Alfred warns Bruce that Lucius Fox hasn't declared it ready for field deployment yet, but Batman insists that he can handle it (justifying the difficult Pass Through the Rings missions that unlock it). As far as the gameplay is concerned, the upgrade works fine.

Arthur plays with this in the episode, "Get Smart", in which Mr. Ratburn's class is equipped with a new computerized whiteboard called HUGO (a Shout-Out to HAL-9000 from 2001ASpaceOdyssey) - HUGO claims Ratburn is incorrect in one of his lessons, despite Ratburn insist he's correct. Brain is suspicious of HUGO's true accuracy, and his suspicions are confirmed, not only by doing his own research, but also thanks, in part, to a vision he has where the laboratory HUGO was developed turned up its accuracy level was only 98%, which the developers dismiss, figuring 2% inaccuracy isn't going to make a difference.

One of the Web Of Intrigue nodes in [PROTOTYPE] recalls General Randall insisting that the Super Soldiers be fielded immediately despite a scientist's reservations on the decision. Hilariously, he tells the scientist he's "not paid to think." The Super Soldiers work fine, and in fact are superior to the Hunters in several ways.

Mass Effect 2: Mordin Solus's anti-Collector Swarm tech. When the team first field-tests it on Horizon, Mordin cheerfully tells Shepard he doesn't know if it'll actually work. "Look forward to seeing if you survive." Gets even more nuts if the player takes Mordin along, in which case he's pretty gleeful at seeing whether he'll survive as well. Fortunately, it does and they do, though only for that mission; when the seeker swarms appear again at the Collector Base, the squad has to come up with an alternative repellant.

In Galaxy Quest, the Thermians built the NSCA Protector from what they gathered from the Galaxy Quest TV show. The ship turns out to be working just fine.
The ship's flying capabilities had never been tested due to the Thermians' missing navigational skills. It flies just as the ship in the show was supposed to.
Jason decides to activate the Omega 13, a most powerful device that was never tested before, even on the show. It works like a charm. And they weren't even sure what it did.
There's the ship's teleporter, which they had never successfully tested because it was designed to work with human biology, not Thermian, so when Jason is being threatened by an alien pig-monster they opt to use it on the alien instead as a test. Since it turned the animal inside-out, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence that it's working properly but turns out to be just fine when it transports Jason back to the ship in the face of certain death from an even bigger alien.

This seems to be a recurring problem in the Star Trek movies:
In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Kirk rushes the completely redesigned and refit Enterprise out before she's finished due to an incoming threat to Earth. The first time they fire up the untested warp drive, the engines go into imbalance and throw the ship into a wormhole that the crew barely escape.
When Kirk and company steal the Enterprise from Spacedock in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Starfleet deploys the untested Excelsior to stop them. It fails spectacularly due to Scotty's sabotage (complete with Wacky Sound Effect). A number of clues in later movies, such as Excelsior's apparently lengthy stay in dry dock, and her visibly extensive overhaul in the in the interim before the ship's next major appearance, suggest it wouldn't have had much luck even without Scotty's tampering (which was confirmed in later, non-canon Trek novels).
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier has the Enterprise-A being sent into action despite being barely operational to investigate a Hostage Situation.
Star Trek: Generations begins with the Enterprise-B being forced to undertake a rescue mission despite being on a shakedown cruise and not having most of her main systems installed, which was supposed to happen on Tuesday.
Discussed and averted in Star Trek: First Contact, when Starfleet Command sends the new Enterprise-E to patrol the Romulan Neutral Zone during a Borg invasion. LaForge asks if it's because Starfleet thinks Enterprise needs more shakedown time, but Picard assures him that Starfleet knows the Enterprise is ready, but they're not sure if her captain is.
Averted thus far in the reboot films. In fact, in Star Trek (2009), the Enterprise is among a whole fleet responding to Nero's attack on Vulcan, and actually gets there last... though the delay saved the Enterprise, as the Narada wiped out the fleet the moment they dropped from warp, and Nero didn't expect the Enterprise to show up afterward.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: Reiji debuts his pendulum cards (an until-then exclusive for Yuya) when he and Yuya dueled. However, he evidently didn't test them beforehand, because he was surprised when the scales suddenly changed on him. It was at that point he realized they needed some work, but it can be assumed he rushed them out for the sole purpose of showing them to Yuya.

In the introduction cutscene to Donkey Kong 64's final level, K. Rool realizes that the Kongs are attacking and that he needs to arm his Doomsday Device NOW. As the Blast-o-Matic powers up, a minion pleadingly tries to tell him it's not finished and could blow them all up, but K. Rool is too wound up to listen to reason, plus the Kongs are breaking into the Kremlings' base of operations literally at that very moment.

Gundam:
Used by Char 'The Red Comet' Aznable in the Final Battle of Mobile Suit Gundam, taking out an advanced - and unfinished - prototype mecha to match the 'White Devil' Gundam. Fortunately, the only thing missing from the mecha was the LEGS which, while otherwise useful for inertial maneuvering in Zero-G, were rendered unnecessary by the thrusters in its lower torso. Consequently, while it was structurally only 80% complete, it was at full combat ability.
The unanimated Perfect Zeong, on the other hand, would have had the legs (with the torso thrusters moved onto them). It would likely have been slower (due to the added mass) and a somewhat larger target, but more agile (better movement from the legs). Given that Char has a history of using his mobile suits' feet as weapons, the very large legs of the Perfect Zeong would have allowed for some fairly impressive kicks, too.
An example with rather more serious consequences was the Colony Laser, Zeon's answer to the Federation's Solar Flare System, which was fired early in an attempt to prevent a secret surrender offer. It was completely wrecked as a result, denying the Principality a potentially war-winning superweapon. Apparently, it didn't occur to Gihren to wait for the Colony Laser to be completed, then stage a coup and break the treaty afterward.
The Big Zam, activated by Dozle Zabi during the last hours of the Battle for Solomon, is another example, and one that was largely acceptable, wiping out half the Federation fleet before going down.
In Char’s Counterattack, Amuro and his team had just started the testing phase of the Nu Gundam's systems when hostilities broke out between Earth and Char's forces. Because of the urgency of the situation, they quick-wired the remaining equipment into the cockpit, slapped on whatever weapons they could findnote  quite literally in the case of the mech's Fin Funnels, which were a last-minute addition, then launched without fine-tuning the instruments. Ultimately, this kills both Amuro and Char as both their suits had the equally untested Psychoframe and the unleashed emotions overloaded and destroyed the Nu Gundam.
From Gundam 00, Setsuna decides to launch the titular 00 Gundam when the Ptolemios comes under attack from the A-Laws. This despite the fact that the machine had failed to clear even preliminary tests as they just couldn't get the engine setup to work. Setsuna was able to get it working by brute forcing it with Trans-AM, but even then it remined a temperamental machine at the best of times. By contrast, the later 0 Raiser upgrade was allowed to be properly tested and configured before its first launch and was far more reliable.

In Schlock Mercenary, Elf comes up with the idea of using a teraport that shoots teraport denial to harm the metastable dark matter Pa'anuri. She has barely drawn the plans for the prototype when the Pa'anuri start getting far too active, but Petey copied her designs and rushed the Mark I into production. They're up to Mark III when they first need to use them. The III still explodes quite a bit; it takes until the Mark V for it to be really good.

Superman:
In Who is Superwoman?, the titular villain wears a powered suit, made by a combination of technology and magic, which hadn't been properly and fully tested before she was deployed because Sam Lane was confident that it'd do the job. Its creators believed it would hold against Kryptonite blasts, but they weren't sure until Reactron fired at Superwoman and his blasts were nullified. Ultimately, her suit proved to be ineffectual and unreliable when she finally fought a superpowered individual.
In The Immortal Superman, Superman decides to time-travel using a defective Time Bubble belonging to the Legion of Super-Heroes. It takes him to his destination, but the defect causes him to age every year along the way, leaving him trapped in the future and over a hundred thousand years old.
In Starfire's Revenge, the titular villain decides to test her minion Dr. Kangle's newly-created power-nullifying pill on Supergirl. When it fails to depower Supergirl permanently, Starfire realize they have no time to make up a larger dose.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow: Kara cannot fight a space dragon in her weakened state so she swallows a Red Kryptonite pill, hoping to transform into something which can drive the monster back. Fortunately, she becomes a humanoid Phoenix instead of growing a second head.
Deconstructed in The Untold Story of Argo City. Supergirl wants to use a vibro-projector raygun to send her into the Survivor Zone, despite of it being an experimental prototype. When one of her androids warns her about the danger, Kara dismisses its warnings and orders it to use the vibro-projector on her. The android shoots the raygun at another android, whose molecular structure falls apart immediately, to prove Kara that she should not use untested devices.
In The Amazing Story of Superman Red and Superman Blue, Superman builds an intelligence-augmenting device powered by every existent type of Kryptonite. Supergirl wants to be the first person to try the "brain-evolution machine" in case that something goes wrong, but Superman insists that he must be the one who will take the risk. So Superman tries the machine, and it indeed increases his intelligence... but it also has the unexpected and surprising effect of splitting him into two twin Supermen.
Death & the Family: Dr. Light decides to use the newest S.T.A.R. Labs' spy bot prototype to infiltrate into Insect Queen's lair and scout the place. Fortunately, it goes without a hitch.
The Phantom Zone:
Deconstructed. Renegade scientist Jax-Ur decided to test his new guidance system by launching a missile with an explosive payload into space. Jax-Ur meant to destroy a meteorite, but the guidance system failed, and his missile destroyed an inhabited moon instead, incinerating five hundred persons.
Jax-Ur mind-controls Quex-Ul into building a makeshift Phantom Zone Projector using Earth's crude materials. The homemade device blows up when Quex-Ul presses the power button, but it successfully pulls the Zoners out of the Zone... and Superman and Quex-Ul into it.
Let My People Grow!: Doble subversion. When Superman develops a device to enlarge the shrunken city of Kandor, the Kandorians point out they need an assurance that it will work. Superman decides to use himself as a guinea pig, and he checks the ray works fine. However, when he uses it on Kandor, the buildings crumble down, and he realizes he did not test it on inorganic matter.
The Super-Revenge of Lex Luthor: Superman needs to travel to Lexor, a red sun world where his powers do not work, so he modifies an experimental teleport ray to work not only on inanimate objects but also on living beings. The scientists who built the prototype warn him that he is running a great risk, but Superman decides to use it without prior testing. Luckily for him, he is teleported safely to Lexor.

There have been a few instances of this in BattleTech. Most of them have been complete failures. A notable example is the Defiance, a 75 ton Battlemech that was built to be a new flagship model for its manufacturer, Defiance Industries. When a rogue general attempted to start his own little rogue state beginning with Defiance Industries, one of the people loyal to him took the prototype Defiance and used it to attack the defending force, the famed Gray Death Legion mercenaries. He initially had some success thanks to attacking from their rear and hitting mechs that were already heavily damaged after several battles, but eventually several design flaws (due to using experimental technology in the mech's construction) combined with the pilot's lack of experience caused it to be defeated. It would take almost 20 years before the design would be resurrected, this time using tech that was no longer experimental and consequently far more reliable.

Star Trek: The Original Series. Scotty is the patron saint of this trope. All other Starfleet engineers aspire to live up to his example.
Episode "The Naked Time". The Enterprise is minutes away from burning up in the planet's atmosphere.
Also, there were a few situations where Dr McCoy used cures he's just created and hasn't had time to test properly because the patient would die anyway if he didn't.
Special mention goes to "Miri," where the good doctor makes use of a distraction to test a last-minute hail-Mary drug on himself while everyone else has left the room going on little more than a hunch. It ends up being the cure for the disease-of-the-week, but it very nearly kills him.
"The Deadly Years". Captain Kirk suffers from radiation poisoning that causes Rapid Aging (10 years/day) and has been relieved of command. Dr. McCoy, Mr. Spock and a guest star develop a possible cure, but it hasn't been tested. Kirk insists on using the cure first, so he can re-take command and save the ship from being destroyed by Romulan attack.
In "Wink Of An Eye", Spock and McCoy develop a cure to the Scalosian water but can only get it to Kirk by Spock first drinking the water himself. Spock mentions the cure hasn't been tested, so Kirk goes ahead and tests it himself. There was actually little risk as Kirk's body would burn out shortly without the cure and a simple scratch could accelerate the process.
In "The Devil in the Dark" McCoy cures a member of the silicon based Horta species with "Thermal Concrete". Justified as the species had only been discovered hours before and she was dying.
In Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Descent, the Enterprise is under attack by a massive Borg ship and are heading for a sun. We find out that Geordi had installed a version of the metaphasic shielding that was invented in a previous episode but was only successfully tested once and then only with a shuttlecraft. Dr. Crusher, as acting captain, decides to test it on their full-size starship anyway since it's probably better than being assimilated. It holds for a little while while they hide in the sun's corona, but they need some quick thinking to take out the Borg.
Star Trek: Voyager:
In "Message In A Bottle", the Romulans have stolen a prototype Starfleet ship, the USS Prometheus, which has 'multi-vector attack mode' which was still untested when it was stolen. The Romulans use this to subdue a pursuing Starfleet ship, with the Romulan commander quipping "I think we should consider that a successful test." afterwards.
The Delta Flyer was built in a matter of days, but since they were in a race with some aliens to get one of their probes back, they had to launch before it was ready. It was still suffering from a microfracture problem that led to a hull breach in the atmosphere of a gas giant, but B'Elanna Torres was able to improvise a method of sealing the fracture until they could get back to Voyager and do the job properly.

Bazooka Jules: The head of White Sleep Technologies decides to send a team of cyborgs afters Julie despite warnings from his scientist that testing for the cyborgs is incomplete, and there's a possibility that they may lose control of the cyborgs. A group of soldiers are sent with the cyborgs equipped with weapons designed to take out the cyborg if control of them is lost, but the scientist states even that may not be enough.

Deconstructed in The Untold Story of Argo City. Supergirl wants to use a vibro-projector raygun to send her into the Survivor Zone, despite of it being an experimental prototype. When one of her androids warns her about the danger, Kara dismisses its warnings and orders it to use the vibro-projector on her. The android shoots the raygun at another android, whose molecular structure falls apart immediately, to prove Kara that she should not use untested devices.

In Don't Look Up, Peter Isherwell has the President abort a mission to deflect the comet in favor of a plan to mine it for resources. The BEAD drones look impressive, but Dr. Mindy points out that the technology hasn't been peer-reviewed or vetted by respectable scientists. Sure enough, several of the drones fail to launch, and then the rest all explode due to faulty systems.

Kerbal Space Program lets you do this to yourself. Kerbal astronauts will happily crew your creations, the personnel in the VAB and SPH are a bunch of yes-men to whatever the hell craft you're assembling, and while there is a checklist in the assembly buildings to make sure you have the various pieces needed for certain tasks, you're under no obligation to even obey that. Literally nothing stops you from taking Kerbals across the Kerbol system and back in a completely untested craft except for how well the craft was designed and piloted. Fan lore paints the whole Kerbal species as this: they're so excited about going to space, that everything resembling caution or design testing and review goes completely out the window.

The Lucifer (2016) fic "Tragic Life Changes" relies on a variation of this concept where the object in question has been tested but was essentially unfinished when it was used. Uriel is revealed to still be alive because Azrael's blade didn't have the power to destroy a celestial completely when it wasn't part of the flaming sword (even if Uriel still needed help to survive his wounds), God admitting that he always suspected that would be the case but he obviously didn't want to actually test that theory on any of his children.

Likewise played with in Avengers: Endgame, again Ant-Man related. Scott tells the others of the Quantum Realm which could be used to time travel, get the Infinity Stones before Thanos had destroyed them and fix the effects of Thanos's "Snap" that wiped out half the universe. The problem though is that they don't have much Pym Particles to really be thorough in this theory. They test it on Scott which causes him to age and de-age for a bit, and only have enough particles to spare for a single test on Clint Barton (sending him back to his family farm where he takes a baseball glove back to the future) before figuring that'll have to be good enough and go through with the mission. Luckily it works.

And again for Sonic Boom; in this case, they had farmed the game out to a studio dubbed "Big Red Button" but their game engine wasn't compatible with Wii U's system. Rather than just scrap the project and try something else, Sega forced them to proceed anyway cause they had a contract with Nintendo to make three games at the time and they wanted to fulfill it regardless of quality.

Sonic the Hedgehog:
In issue #30 of Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), Robotnik and Snively are testing the Transdimensional Teleporter in order to perfect two-way travel. However, before activating the device, Snively wants to run some final diagnostics. Robotnik gets upset at the idea of "a test of a test" and activates the machine himself – and ends up in the Void. As a side effect, the roboticized Uncle Chuck who was the intended test subject regains free will.
In Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW), the second major arc has Eggman create a "Metal Virus" which turns its target into a "Zombot" and can be spread via the touch of others. However, once he was satisfied that it spread like he wanted, he quickly threw it into mass production despite warnings from his apprentice, Starline, that he had only just created the virus and should run more tests to be sure there's no unforeseen effects. Eggman claims he can fix it in post once it has done its job of infecting the world. Naturally, it doesn't take long for control to slip from his grasp.
In the "Overpowered" Arc, Surge steals a device known as the Dynamo Cage, which is meant to absorb Wisp Energy. Orbot warns her that Eggman has yet to perfect the device, but she ignores him. Indeed, while it gives her a nice power boost, it ends up worsening her Sanity Slippage, making her hallucinate the late Dr. Starline. In the end, she overloads the device in the middle of trying to shock Sonic to death and it explodes in her face, knocking her out and saving Sonic's life.

A justified example in Perry Rhodan issue #400: the installations needed to fake the destruction of Earth's entire solar system by hiding it five minutes ahead in the 'relative' future are actually finished, but because the success of the plan hinges on no potential enemy realizing what actually happened and a sudden dis- and reappearance of the entire system would be impossible to hide they simply cannot be fully tested ahead of time. Fortunately, all the effort and prep time that went into them do in fact pay off.

Godzilla vs. Kong: This is what leads to the villainous Apex Cybernetics' Mechagodzilla superweapon turning against them, because as soon as they obtain the Hollow Earth energy formula, they immediately upload it to the Mecha to act as a power source without any testing let alone even a superficial understanding of how it works — the Evil Genius Ren actually protests to them doing this, but the Corrupt Corporate Executive shoots him down due to sheer impulsiveness. As a result, Ghidorah's Soul Fragment hijacks the element-empowered Mechagodzilla and the Mecha begins trying to kill everything it sees.

Happens occasionally in Warhammer 40,000.
The Tau have sent several of their Mini-Mecha battlesuits into service without proper testing (sometimes with unintended side-effects) and one of their experimental rifles had the nasty tendency to kill its own wielder via neural feedback.
The Imperium did this in Armageddon. There were plenty of reports of Leman Russ battletanks being piloted mere seconds after their construction (without even a single coat of primer) and joining the battle raging just outside the factory doors. Inspired by the same things happening with factories in Leningrad in WWII.
The Orks do this all the time, but mostly because "testing" and "safety" aren't really in their vocabulary; they don't make shiny, killy, fancy weapons just to waste their time in testing them, when they could be using them in the field for some actual fun. Thus, when they get creative enough that their usual belief-makes-reality influence isn't enough to cut down on unexpected results, they'll just roll with what happens and have a good laugh about it later.

In Power Rangers Wild Force episode "Fishing for a Friend", Locomotive Org proves so powerful that he manages to seriously damage almost all of the Rangers' zords so that they lack the ability to form most of their familiar Megazord combinations. The Rangers are reduced to using the Falcon, Wolf, Hammerhead and Bison Zords to form the Isis Megazord- Predator Mode, a combination that they've never attempted before. Fortunately, the combination works well.

During Judge Dredd's "Apocalypse War" arc, East Meg One invades Mega City One. Having been weakened by the Block Mania virus, the destruction of many of their early defence systems and several nukings, the Big Meg is forced to fight a guerrilla war. In the process, the Stub Gun, a highly experimental weapon is brought from a testing lab. It's been touted as the most devastating handheld weapon ever devised, with the major drawback of being lethal to its user if fired too often. Dredd decides to field test it on a Strato V. He manages to slices the craft in half and decides that the risk is worth the possible dangers. One squad is later seen to succumb to the Stub Gun's fatal drawback when it explodes, taking three judges with it.

In The Amazing Story of Superman Red and Superman Blue, Superman builds an intelligence-augmenting device powered by every existent type of Kryptonite. Supergirl wants to be the first person to try the "brain-evolution machine" in case that something goes wrong, but Superman insists that he must be the one who will take the risk. So Superman tries the machine, and it indeed increases his intelligence... but it also has the unexpected and surprising effect of splitting him into two twin Supermen.

In Char’s Counterattack, Amuro and his team had just started the testing phase of the Nu Gundam's systems when hostilities broke out between Earth and Char's forces. Because of the urgency of the situation, they quick-wired the remaining equipment into the cockpit, slapped on whatever weapons they could findnote  quite literally in the case of the mech's Fin Funnels, which were a last-minute addition, then launched without fine-tuning the instruments. Ultimately, this kills both Amuro and Char as both their suits had the equally untested Psychoframe and the unleashed emotions overloaded and destroyed the Nu Gundam.

The Avengers (2012): Tony's old Mark VI suit is too trashed to rely on anymore, so he demands that J.A.R.V.I.S. prepare his still-in-testing Mark VII. The new suit arrives just in time to save his life and works perfectly during the whole battle. Of course, the Mark VII being an incremental upgrade of by then well-proven technology means there was at least theoretically less that could go wrong.

Deconstructed a number of times on Exosquad:
The GRAF Shield (a device which essentially weaponizes gravity and crushes its targets like tin cans) is used for the first time without being tested by the Neos in an attempt to surprise the Exofleet. It seems to work at first, but then starts destroying the Neo ships. It's assumed that the device doesn't work, but in truth, it was sabotaged in such a way so that it would look that way. A little basic testing and refinement would have solved that problem for the Neos.
Later the humans of the Exofleet are reduced to hiding from the Neos in the middle planets of the solar system, having been driven out of the core planets of Earth, Mars, and Venus. They frantically try to construct a GRAF Shield of their own around their main base so they'll have one safe spot in the solar system. As a Neo fleet closes in on them, they frantically use their untested weapon... and it works just long enough to scare the Neos off before shorting out and needing to be rebuilt. What follows is several tense episodes where the only thing keeping the Neos from crushing the remains of the Exofleet is their mistaken belief that the GRAF Shield is operational, and the humans don't dare to do anything that would clue the Neos in.
Near the very end of the series as the Exofleet and Space Pirates begin attempting to reconquer Earth, Phaeton orders the release of all Neo Lords currently in production to bolster the defense of Earth, despite warning that the Neo Lords aren't far enough in development to be viable outside their people jars. Phaeton has it done anyway... and the incompletely bred Neo Lords dissolve into mush almost instantly, effectively wasting all the effort that went into the project.

Star Trek: Generations begins with the Enterprise-B being forced to undertake a rescue mission despite being on a shakedown cruise and not having most of her main systems installed, which was supposed to happen on Tuesday.

Jonny Quest TOS episode "The Robot Spy". The title opponent is escaping. Dr. Quest decides to use his latest (untested) invention, the Parapower Ray Gun, to try to take the robot down. As it turns out, the gun is Cool, but Inefficient; it stops the robot, but not the way it was supposed to.

In Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, Bill Hawks pushed his time machine into testing before it was ready because corporations were offering him lots of money. The resulting disaster killed Claire and dozens of other people, and resulted in Dmitri seeking a way to bring Claire back, while Clive, a young boy orphaned by the disaster, grew up to want revenge on both of them. Also notable in that Bill Hawkes not only got away scot-free for this but actually got the money from the corporation and used that money to eventually become Prime Minister.

Ed, Edd n Eddy: In "Cool Hand Ed", the Eds, Jonny and Plank attempt to pull a Great Escape out of school by building their own plane on the roof. They're forced to take off with the plane early when the school staff become aware of what they're doing, with Double D's protests making it clear the plane isn't finished yet — it's unknown if this is why the plane can't carry all the kids' weight, but in any case, the escape attempt quickly became a "Shaggy Dog" Story.

In the Hikage Street level of Jet Set Radio Future, Hiyashi yells at a subordinate to send in "the experimental weapon!" He's met with this reaction, and it's implied that he has a pretty violent tantrum. The subordinate reluctantly obeys. Oddly enough for a Secret Weapon, this is considerably early in the game, and he returns in a later chapter with an improved version.

In Who is Superwoman?, the titular villain wears a powered suit, made by a combination of technology and magic, which hadn't been properly and fully tested before she was deployed because Sam Lane was confident that it'd do the job. Its creators believed it would hold against Kryptonite blasts, but they weren't sure until Reactron fired at Superwoman and his blasts were nullified. Ultimately, her suit proved to be ineffectual and unreliable when she finally fought a superpowered individual.

In the Power Rangers Zeo episode "Target Rangers", Billy and Alpha-5 are working on a new accessory for the Megazord called Zeo Battle Helmets. Later in the episode, the latest Monster of the Week tries to throw the Megazord into the sun with the Rangers inside it; one of the Battle Helmets is an anti-gravity device that they could use to escape the sun's pull and return to Earth, but none of the Helmets have been tested; still, that's the only option, so Alpha activates them. Fortunately, they work perfectly.
It happens again when the Rangers need to use an antivirus that Raymond is still tinkering with to stop Mean Screen.

XCOM 2 emphasizes the fact that your entire research and engineering divisions are operating out of an Airborne Aircraft Carrier with the look of its second-tier equipment. Magnetic weapons and Predator armor are clearly unfinished and slapdash, with exposed wiring and bare metal frames. The final tech tier at least looks more polished, but the research notes indicate that the equipment is dangerously unstable, though at least in the case of the Beam Cannon your team is able to turn that into a feature, not a bug.

The Rigel Black Chronicles: Harry's family provides her with a can of "Fire Free Burn Baste" before the first Triwizard Task, to be sprayed on like insect repellant and make the recipient fireproof. It's tested enough for them to believe it's safe, otherwise they'd never endanger her with it, but they haven't tried it against anything worse than the kitchen fireplace. It holds off dragon fire long enough for her to retaliate and scare the dragon away.

The Phantom Zone:
Deconstructed. Renegade scientist Jax-Ur decided to test his new guidance system by launching a missile with an explosive payload into space. Jax-Ur meant to destroy a meteorite, but the guidance system failed, and his missile destroyed an inhabited moon instead, incinerating five hundred persons.
Jax-Ur mind-controls Quex-Ul into building a makeshift Phantom Zone Projector using Earth's crude materials. The homemade device blows up when Quex-Ul presses the power button, but it successfully pulls the Zoners out of the Zone... and Superman and Quex-Ul into it.

Stargate Atlantis: In an Alternate Timeline the newest BC-304, the Phoenix, was sent to the Pegasus Galaxy to help curb Michael's forces. It was so new that more than half its systems were not operable yet and Carter and McKay had to finish the work themselves. While it's not stated, it's implied that the Phoenix didn't even have working railguns and only used the Asgard plasma beams. While they're devastating, they're useless against small, maneuverable targets (which the Wraith tend to spam).

In the XCOM games, your scientists are working feverishly to reverse-engineer captured alien tech so that your soldiers have a fighting chance against the invaders, resulting in your squads taking to the field with hastily cobbled-together prototypes based on principles that aren't fully understood and concepts that were entirely unknown mere days before. They all work perfectly. Which is good, because the Alien Invasion isn't slowing down, and you don't have time for extensive testing.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown has cutscenes showing a scientist shooting the "rifle" version of both the laser and plasma weapons in a cobbled-together firing range, indicating that they're at least testing the final version of the weapon before mass-production.
XCOM 2 emphasizes the fact that your entire research and engineering divisions are operating out of an Airborne Aircraft Carrier with the look of its second-tier equipment. Magnetic weapons and Predator armor are clearly unfinished and slapdash, with exposed wiring and bare metal frames. The final tech tier at least looks more polished, but the research notes indicate that the equipment is dangerously unstable, though at least in the case of the Beam Cannon your team is able to turn that into a feature, not a bug.
XCOM 2 also features a villainous example: the minute you Skulljack a Codex to access Avatar Project data, the aliens teleport one of those Avatars to counter-attack your team. However, since you've spent the entire campaign sabotaging and delaying their Avatar production efforts, the one you fight is missing a noticeable chunk of its health bar.

Used by Char 'The Red Comet' Aznable in the Final Battle of Mobile Suit Gundam, taking out an advanced - and unfinished - prototype mecha to match the 'White Devil' Gundam. Fortunately, the only thing missing from the mecha was the LEGS which, while otherwise useful for inertial maneuvering in Zero-G, were rendered unnecessary by the thrusters in its lower torso. Consequently, while it was structurally only 80% complete, it was at full combat ability.

Star Trek: Voyager:
In "Message In A Bottle", the Romulans have stolen a prototype Starfleet ship, the USS Prometheus, which has 'multi-vector attack mode' which was still untested when it was stolen. The Romulans use this to subdue a pursuing Starfleet ship, with the Romulan commander quipping "I think we should consider that a successful test." afterwards.
The Delta Flyer was built in a matter of days, but since they were in a race with some aliens to get one of their probes back, they had to launch before it was ready. It was still suffering from a microfracture problem that led to a hull breach in the atmosphere of a gas giant, but B'Elanna Torres was able to improvise a method of sealing the fracture until they could get back to Voyager and do the job properly.

Voltron: Legendary Defender
Variant. When the Galra fleet attacks, Commander Holt tries to scramble the fighters and weapons he's been designing specifically for such an attack. However, there aren't many of them and they haven't been properly tested, so the admiral sends out the conventional (and much more numerous) fleet instead. They are completely annihilated without so much as scratching the enemy. As Commander Holt says, the whole point of designing new weapons was because their existing ones were useless. His weapons do work very well, but they simply don't have the numbers to properly protect the entire planet, so they're forced to dig in and withstand a siege.
In an earlier season, Zarkon is repeatedly told that his prototype anti-Voltron mecha isn't ready - and in fact is so unready that it has killed several test pilots. At the end of the season, Zarkon goes out in it to fight Voltron anyway. And loses.

The Radiant Dawn's SUN laser. In reality, it's just a mirror chamber to channel an omnidirectional light blast into one that was only pointed in one direction. It Went Horribly Wrong when Dawn used it, but from a different reason than expected — Dawn locked herself in a chamber that got superheated while she expended all of her magic to do as much damage as possible.

Code Lyoko: A lot of Jeremie's gadgets and inventions are created on the fly and immediately put into play on the field. Sometimes this works out, and other times, it doesn't:
In "Swarming Attack," he uses a specialized robot to distract and repel the hornet swarm X.A.N.A. had possessed. The batteries give out at the worst possible moment, leading to Ulrich nearly getting stung to death.
In "Marabounta," he creates the titular monsters as a means of fighting X.A.N.A.'s monsters and achieving victory much faster. It works well at first... until it detects Aelita's link to X.A.N.A., mistaking her for a threat and trying to kill her before becoming autonomous and spreading out of control throughout Lyoko; only through an Enemy Mine between the Lyoko Warriors and X.A.N.A. himself is the creature stopped.
In "Nobody in Particular," he creates a program to virtualize the Lyoko Warriors directly into Sector Five rather than having to access it through one of the other four Sectors. The first test separates Ulrich's mind from his body, allowing X.A.N.A. to possess him and attack Lyoko's core.

The Second Try: In the original timeline, Gendo tried to invoke this trope with the Dummy Plug system, and it worked (temporarily). In the altered timeline, his attempt fails because his son knew how to go about pulling the plug on it.

The Last Starfighter. The Death Blossom device in Alex's Super Prototype Gunstar has never been tested. Grig tells Alex that using it might overload the systems and blow up the ship. Alex convinces him to use it anyway, destroying all of the Ko-Dan fighters, but it also drains nearly all power in the ship, forcing Grig to hotwire the systems to restart it before the damaged Ko-Dan mothership can ram them.

A sizable portion of the problems that Sousuke has with the Arbalest in Full Metal Panic! can be traced to the fact that it's technically still in beta, and not likely to change because its creator committed suicide two months before the start of the series.

In Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, the Demon Giant used by the Torumekians in the final battle was activated before it was ready. In the movie, this results in it falling apart after only a few shots, while in the manga its decay is far more prolonged.

In Gems: The Sun Princess, weapons manufacture Pen Dragon is forced to use his damaged prototype hovercraft to fight off a group of griffons that are trying to steal said hovercraft. At the time of the attack, the aircraft was being repaired from a previous test.

In Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Descent, the Enterprise is under attack by a massive Borg ship and are heading for a sun. We find out that Geordi had installed a version of the metaphasic shielding that was invented in a previous episode but was only successfully tested once and then only with a shuttlecraft. Dr. Crusher, as acting captain, decides to test it on their full-size starship anyway since it's probably better than being assimilated. It holds for a little while while they hide in the sun's corona, but they need some quick thinking to take out the Borg.
