  • Search for Patterns: Use regex to identify recurring errors in logs.
  • Monitor Performance Metrics: Track CPU usage and memory leaks during debugging sessions.

🛠️ Debugging Tools

  • Integrated Development Environments (IDEs): Tools like VS Code or PyCharm offer built-in debuggers.
  • Version Control: Use Git to compare code changes and revert to stable versions.
  • Network Debugging: Analyze API requests with tools like Postman or Wireshark.

⚠️ Common Issues

  • Null References: Always check for null before accessing properties.
  • Race Conditions: Use synchronized tools to debug multi-threaded applications.
  • Configuration Errors: Validate environment variables and config files regularly.
