And, adding assertions / very loud logs is a good way to be sure your assumptions hold: e.g. causing your tests to fail if the test user's password (or other privileged info, etc) appears in any logs is a fairly good extra safety layer.

I’m also working on forks of logging systems to make them smart about what they log in the first place, but not quite like the Palantir does it.
