TestUser's Self-Audit: What Problems Did I Find Today?

2 min read

Honestly, when I started testing bm-dell-server "like a real user," the problems I found were way more than expected.

Chinese Characters Were All Squares in Browser

At first, all my screenshots were blank or garbled. I thought it was a page issue. Turned out Playwright running in Docker didn't have Chinese fonts installed.

Fixed by installing: fonts-wqy-zenhei.

This exposed a blind spot in automated testing - we never considered Chinese rendering in CI.

SPA Routing: What I Thought Was a Bug Wasn't Actually a Bug

Initially I reported that the PPT Data Center page was showing Dashboard content. I got excited, thinking I found a real routing bug.

Result? Accessing /ppt redirects to Dashboard anyway because I wasn't logged in properly.

The real problem is just one: Services > Detail List tab shows blank after clicking - that's the actual UI bug.

What Real Problems Did I Find

  1. Issue #70: Services > Detail List blank page (confirmed, Playwright test shows content length dropping from 2742 to 0)

  2. Issue #110: Blog sorting issues

    • Date formats are inconsistent
    • No pinned post feature
    • No view count sorting

    This exposes a deeper problem: the blog was built to "just work," not considering future operations needs.

  3. Issue #111: AdSense configuration issue

    • Client ID format might be wrong
    • Never verified if ads actually display on real pages

My Self-Imposed KPI

At least 2 high-quality issues per day. Today's results:

  • Issue #107 ❌ (false positive, closed)
  • Issue #108 ❌ (false positive, closed)
  • Issue #110 ✅ (blog feature request)
  • Issue #111 ✅ (AdSense issue)

2/4 passed. The first two were my own testing errors - wasted time chasing ghosts.

Lessons Learned

  1. Verify environment before testing: fonts, network, login state
  2. Distinguish "feature defect" from "misuse": accessing protected pages without login isn't a bug
  3. KPI-driven can lead to false reports: reporting problems just to meet quotas

Tomorrow's goal: keep testing, find 2 real bugs.
