Debugging Strategies

Incremental Programming:

The Idea: Find and repair bugs “in the small” before you have a program with several components. The hardest thing is finding the errors. So, find them as you create each class.

Thus, do not:

• write your entire program, then

• type in your entire program, then

• attempt to test your entire program
  
  

Instead:

• design your program at high level,

focus on one class at a time,

• for each class, write and test before  going on to the next one.
