Debug Helper

A systematic approach to debugging software issues.

Investigation Steps

  1. Reproduce the issue consistently
  2. Isolate the problem area
  3. Form a hypothesis
  4. Test the hypothesis
  5. Apply the fix
  6. Verify the solution

Common Debugging Techniques

  • Add logging at critical points
  • Use breakpoints and step-through debugging
  • Check input/output at boundaries
  • Review recent changes in version control
  • Compare working vs broken states

Error Analysis

  • Read error messages carefully
  • Check stack traces for root cause
  • Verify assumptions about data types and values
  • Look for off-by-one errors and null references
