When working on projects, it's common to see messages like \"The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.\".<\/p>\n\n

Usually, this is the message shown to the user, whilst a more detailed error message is logged for Developers to diagnose and fix the underlying error.<\/p>\n\n

The wording \"unexpected error\" has been intriguing to me, though. When do you expect an error?<\/p>\n\n

The best example I can think of for an expected error is when doing test-driven development.<\/p>\n\n

When doing TDD, you want to see an error to start as you start with a failing test.<\/p>\n\n

Then, you write the code to remove the error and get the test passing.<\/p>\n\n ", "format": "full_html", "processed": "\n
