Study them, learn them, and try to understand them when they are being used in your work environment. These are meant to give you a high-level understanding of the word. A simple good search can give you a deeper dive.

Error message- a message that is displayed when an invalid action has taken place.

Expected result-the correct output based on a given input in a test.
