What is meant by the error context?

The error context is the set of information describing the state of the system in which the error occurred. It includes:

• Call stack: The sequence of functions or methods whose execution led to the error.
• Variable values: Local, global, or method parameters relevant at the time of the error.
• Environment parameters: OS version, JVM, used libraries, configuration files, database state, and other external or internal conditions.
• Inputs and outputs: Data processed or generated at the time of the error.
• Time of occurrence: Exact date and time.
• User identifier: If applicable, who performed the action that led to the error.
• Logs: Corresponding entries in log files.

Providing the full error context is critically important for effective debugging and understanding the root cause of the problem.
