Debugging

Idealogic’s Glossary

Debugging is the activity of finding, distinguishing, and eliminating the faults in the programs and the software that is used in data processing. Error detection can be done by techniques like inspection of code, or by the use of tools such as debuggers and log files. Debugging tools are among the programs that developers employ in order to be able to view the sequential instructions, variable, as well as status of an application at a particular time.

Logging is a means of delivering information about events occurring at runtime and is used to get an idea about the runtime activities of the software. It is imperative to have lots of patience, and good focus, and a correct approach to the problems when being a good debugger. One should know what the debugging is as it is used by everyone, who works with code, to make the software better and faster.
