错误日志的实时抓取保证代码质量

背景介绍：公司使用的网络容器是tomcat，引入了log4j，研发的代码中记录了详细的日志。所有的网页行为包括后套的job定时任务等，都会把日志按定义的级别写入tomcat/log/catalina.out文件中。那么监控该文件，就能捕获可视页面无法感知到的错误。
Linux下使用命令：

tail -f catalina.out |grep -C 36 ERROR

该命令实时读取日志文件，把出现“ERROR”行的日志前后各36日志打印出来。

也可以把日志记录到文本中：

tail -f catalina.out |grep -C 36 ERROR >>error.log

下面是改命令捕获的一个错误日志，在页面上测试时候，没有弹出任何错误提示：

找到日志，提供给开发同学，那么他自然就知道错误是怎么来的。
这个，是研发开发中，调试代码跟踪日志，自然而然发展出来追踪错误的一种办法。对于不懂代码或者对代码一知半解的测试来说，是发现错误一个不错的选择。
