This book teaches a number of techniques that allow you to debug any program in a systematic, and sometimes even elegant, way. Moreover, the techniques can widely be automated, which allows you to let your computer do most of the debugging.Once you understand how debugging works, you will not think about debugging in the same way.

The Art of Software Testing

Today, a quarter of the century later, the same is still true. There are new development systems, languages with built-in tools, and programmers who are used to developing more on the fly.
