Stocking calamity during cross-examination? (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trial run

(Other definitions for trial run that I've seen before include "Practice attempt" , "A test for a car" , "Experimental outing" , "Introductory test" , "Test procedure - on the trot?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
