Computer scientists have developed a technique to speed up program debugging by automatically 'chipping' the software into smaller pieces so that bugs can be isolated more easily. The "Chipper" tools ...

Assertive debugging is a new way to make embedded systems ensure their own health by having your code monitor itself. Debugging is an art that needs much further study .... The most effective ...

Debugging is a challenging and interesting aspect of software engineering. I’ve often noticed project stakeholders sulking about not having smart engineers–the so-called human debuggers–in among their ...

If you have ever tried to debug optimized code, you probably realized that it can be a frustrating experience. Without optimizations, your debugger is a reliable assistant, precisely following every ...

JTAG (jay-tag) is one of the engineering acronyms that has been transformed into a noun, although arguably it is not so popular as RAM, or CPU. IEEE Std 1149.1-1990 IEEE Standard Test Access Port and ...

Microchip has upped the security of a family of PIC18 microcontrollers by adding a one-time disable to its programming and debugging interface. Called PDID (programming and debugging interface disable ...
