Java: Cause Chaining and Error Context
Answer
A good error message provides clear, relevant context.
Effective error messages should be concise yet informative, helping developers quickly understand the issue. For example, instead of a vague 'Error occurred,' a message like 'Failed to update order status for Order ID 456 due to a database timeout' is much more helpful.
