Debugging is an essential part of the development process. Here are some advanced strategies to help you troubleshoot issues effectively:
1. Log Analysis
- Use detailed logging to track the flow of your code.
- Filter logs by severity levels (e.g.,
ERROR
,WARN
,DEBUG
). - Check for patterns or anomalies in the log output.
2. Breakpoints & Step-through Debugging
- Set breakpoints in critical sections of your code.
- Step through execution to identify where things go wrong.
- Utilize conditional breakpoints for complex logic.
3. Unit Testing & Integration Testing
- Write unit tests for individual functions or modules.
- Perform integration tests to verify system interactions.
- Use testing frameworks like Jest or PyTest for automation.

4. Memory & Performance Profiling
- Monitor memory usage with tools like Valgrind or Chrome DevTools.
- Analyze CPU performance to detect bottlenecks.
- Optimize resource-intensive operations.
