Debugging performance greatly depends on the programmers'debugging skill.
If factors concerning the debugging performance are extracted from programmers' actions ,it would be useful for performance improvement.
Our goal is to clarify debugging skills of effective use of debuggers.
To achieve this goal, we conducted a pilot experiment to analyze programmers' actions in debugging a small Java program (about 150 source lines of code) using Eclipse.
As a result of analysis of 6 subjects' debugging actions, we found that expert
programmers used more breakpoints than novices. Also, we found that novices tend to set breakpoints one by one to adjacent lines. |
