This week, I made a mistake in work. When a manager uploaded some sales employee information to the database, our system would show warnings on
a page. I had to control their computer remotely, know how they operate and try other solutions. However, I still didn’t solve the problem.

After I went over all the codes, I realized some codes were wrong. This was a simple problem. “Why didn’t the testers find out the problem?“I had this opinion
in my mind. But it was important for me to solve the problem. The salesmen of this department can use it right away. Next time I need to check all the codes
carefully.
