Debugging

Real professionals eliminate bugs before they can cause damage.

Debugging

No code is perfect, and debugging is the art of finding errors that block progress. Debugging distinguishes competent developers from truly experienced professionals. At DevCraft Academy, we show you how to debug efficiently, use the right tools, and proceed strategically to quickly solve even complex problems.

Debugging is more than just error hunting – it's a fundamental skill that determines your software quality and development speed. Those who can debug systematically save time, nerves, and avoid costly production errors.

Why is debugging so important?

Bugs are inevitable, but how you deal with them makes the difference. Good debugging enables you to quickly identify and fix problems before they become bigger issues. Developers who can debug efficiently are more productive, write more stable code, and can better handle unexpected situations.

What you'll learn with us

At DevCraft Academy, you get comprehensive insight into modern debugging techniques and tools. You'll learn not just the theory, but most importantly, how to apply these skills in real projects to systematically and efficiently find and fix bugs.

Our key topics at a glance:

  • Browser Dev Tools: Developer Tools in browsers are the primary resource for frontend debugging. We show you how to use the Debugger, Network Tools, and Console to analyze code live and identify CSS and JavaScript problems as well as performance bottlenecks.

  • Network Activity Monitoring: Frontend bugs often stem from problems in server-client communication. You'll learn to monitor network requests to identify faulty or slow API calls and transmission bottlenecks.

  • Git Bisect: A powerful tool to locate the specific commit that introduced an error by systematically searching through version history.

  • Error-Finding Strategies: We show you multiple approaches, including divide-and-conquer methodology, elimination processes, and strategic use of breakpoints for methodical bug finding.

  • Logs and Error-Tracking: Creating meaningful logs, isolating error sources, and continuous monitoring with dedicated error-tracking tools for frontend and backend – these are essential skills for every developer.

  • Backend Debugging: Debugging extends beyond frontend work to backend environments with Node.js, Python, and similar technologies to identify logic errors, database problems, and API response issues.

  • Error Reproduction: Systematic reproduction through recreating environments, targeted data manipulation, and identification of reliable test cases is key to understanding bugs.

  • Regression Testing: Automated tests prevent previously-fixed bugs from reappearing during code evolution.

  • Call Stack Analysis: Understanding function call sequences through backtraces and call stacks provides crucial information about error origins.

  • Data Validation: Proper input validation and early error detection prevent data-related issues from propagating through code.

  • Testing Integration: We show you how unit and integration tests narrow down problem areas before active debugging begins.
