The majority of time debugging is not spent removing bugs but understanding code behavior. Once you understand why undesirable behavior is happening it is usually relatively easy to fix this behavior.

Researchers said today they have developed a chip-debugging program that promises to reduce silicon problem resolution from days to hours while saving potentially millions of dollars. The technology, ...

Nutter helps a reader figure out why his broadband speed is significantly lower than what he’s supposed to receive. We often find our broadband speed is significantly slower than the 1.5M-2M bit/sec ...

While semiconductor verification techniques have evolved considerably over the last 25 years, the debug of design problems found during verification has barely changed. New algorithms including ...

I *think* this is more of a question about enabling more logging than a coding question. System is Ubuntu 11.04, PHP5, Apache2. I've got a PHP script that sometimes behaves normally via apache - i.e., ...

Debugging functionality is a pesky problem for the Blazor WebAssembly team, with many limitations still persisting in the project scheduled for a prime-time debut next month. Blazor WASM debugging was ...
