Question

What are the different methods one can use to track bugs when programming?
I know of code tracing.
Which are the others?

Answer 1

You can find out bugs with an IDE

Answer 2

And there is good old printing of values to see. A test harness is another way. That means you use predicable values rather than random or input ones. They are the same things every time the code runs.

Answer 3

oooh ...thanks guys

Answer 4

you can also track bugs by releasing a beta version of the program and the then letting users try it out. [from this, you can know where it itches]
