I would like to add some things: - Sometimes its not the code but the configuration. - If the bug is not very obvious, Don't trust nobody when tracing down bugs. I had to many conversations like : Me: Are you sure that ? Op: Yes Me: Have you checked it? Op: Yes Me: Show me! Op : OOps, I was sure that I checked that. Another good idea is to have some suitable logging and use these logs. Helps a lot to find the path that fails. Finally I like the debugging rules found under: http://www.debuggingrules.com/debuggingrules.jpg Have fun, Oli Nice article, correlates with my experience.
