Debugging"As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it wasnt as easy to get programs right as we had thought. Debugging had to be discovered. I can remember the exact instant when I realized that a large part of my life from then on was going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs."
In engineering, debugging is the process of finding the root cause, workarounds, and possible fixes for bugs.
"A documented bug is not a bug; it is a feature."
"If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in."
"Testing can only prove the presence of bugs, not their absence."
"Much to the surprise of the builders of the first digital computers, programs written for them usually did not work."
"bug, n: An elusive creature living in a program that makes it incorrect. The activity of "debugging", or removing bugs from a program, ends when people get tired of doing it, not when the bugs are removed."
"The last bug isnt fixed until the last user is dead."
