Research And Application On Software Debugging Technology In Complicated Environment

Because more and more large-scale projects are implemented and those projects are using Service/SOAP technology, the software environment becomes more complex. It's a good topic if we could find common patterns to debug in this kind of environment in order to find the issue quickly.This thesis will focus on test strategy and methodology, testing environment and tools. Our goal is to get common patterns and solutions for debugging in complex software environment. In this thesis, we have made a conclusion for 10 common debugging methods, including: Rely on real usage, View Event Log, Simulate the issue with simple code, Sub-system based troubleshooting, Simplified problem, Desperation, Overview consideration, Mutex, Tracking, Replay capability. In addition, we also applied above methods to real scenario and verified these methods. According to our research based on the real cases, we conclude that these common debugging methods can resolve issues in complex software environment effectively.
