CategoryDebugging: Novice programmers could use a good pattern cookbook for debugging software applications. Is this too general to warrant a PatternLanguage? Debugging environments are very operating system and language dependent, but perhaps there are some general forces that can be dealt with. Perhaps some of the pattern titles would look like: * LocateDebuggingFacilities * InsertBreakPoints * LocateFailedProcedure * UseScaffoldingTechniques * IsolateAndTest * DecomposeToSimpleStatements * UseAssertions * RewriteWhenUnclear Ah, maybe the problem domain is too large. -- ToddCoram ----- See DebuggingPatternLanguage.
