Description
Debugging by Thinking: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach is the first book to apply the wisdom of six disciplines?logic, mathematics, psychology,
safety analysis, computer science, and engineering?to the problem of debugging. It uses the methods of literary detectives such as Sherlock
Holmes, the techniques of mathematical problem solving, the results of research into the cognitive psychology of human error, the root
cause analyses of safety experts, the compiler analyses of computer science, and the processes of modern engineering to define a systematic
approach to identifying and correcting software errors.
