Its estimated that developers spend 60-70% of the overall development time in debugging. In fact, debugging is responsible for 80% of all software project overruns.
Debugging is difficult mostly because of the fear of unknown as its hard to determine how long will it take to find and fix errors, not to mention whether or not the defect will actually be fixed.
It remains a big challenge for developers to first discover that a problem exists, classify the bug, locate the issue actually lies in the code, and finally create a solution to fix the issue without regressing new bugs.
My next posts will be targeted specifically on tips, suggestions, tools and processes to improvise your debugging skills, ultimately reduce the turnaround time to fix bugs.
