Debugging, in the world of computer programming, ENGINEERING, is one multistep process. Debugging includes IDENTIFYING the problem, isolating its source, and then finally either correcting it or determining some way in order to work with it. The last step in this is testing the correction made or workaround PLUS making sure that it works.

Debugging is one important element for determining why the operating system, PROGRAM or application is not behaving PROPERLY. Even if the developers practice the same standard coding, the new software application or program will surely have bugs. In several cases, this method of debugging the new software application may take even more time than creating the program did. Invariably, at first, the bugs of software components are detected and fixed as they are used the most.
