<p>When working on projects, it's common to see messages like "The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.".</p>
<p>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>
<p>The wording "unexpected error" has been intriguing to me, though. When do you expect an error?</p>
<p>The best example I can think of for an expected error is when doing test-driven development.</p>
<p>When doing TDD, you want to see an error to start as you start with a failing test.</p>
<p>Then, you write the code to remove the error and get the test passing.</p>
