Junior Developers• Try the “usual” steps• Clear the cache• Re-install dependencies• chmod –R 777 *
• Google the error• Try every solution
• Ask somebody else• Co-worker• StackOverflow post
• Give up

“The bug is not moving around in your code, trying to trick or evade you. It is just siting in one place, doing the wrong thing in the same
way every time.” – Nick Parlante, Debugging Zen

Systematic Approach
1. Gather information2. Replicate the issue3. Identify the culprit4. Fix it & re-test5. Mitigate future occurrences

1. Gather information
• Expected behavior vs.actual behavior• Error messages• Stack traces
Photo from youmustdesireit.wordpress.com
• Screenshots•Browser & OS•Date & time• Log entries
![Page 23: Debugging Effectively - php[world] 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062821/588a18d91a28ab132f8b6ac5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2. Replicate the Issue
Be able to replicate with 100% certainty

3. Identify the CulpritPhoto by U.S. Navy // cc 2.0 // https://flic.kr/p/n6Wgks
• Be methodical• Make no assumptions• Understand the bug
![Page 25: Debugging Effectively - php[world] 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062821/588a18d91a28ab132f8b6ac5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
4. Fix it & Re-test• Attempt to replicate again• Avoid XY problem• No temporary workarounds!• Add technical debt• May introduce other issues• Never get replaced with true solutions

5. Mitigate Future Occurrences•Add an automated test• Share your new knowledge• Project documentation• Blog post• StackOverflow
• Submit patch upstream

2. Divide & Conquer• Identify different code sections• Set breakpoints at the boundaries• Isolate issue to one particular area• Focus efforts on that area
