Multiple choice

Among the following, which is not a type of debugging?

  1. Inspection of code

  2. Random checking

  3. Debugging, using logging

  4. Debugging, using IDE
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Systematic debugging approaches include code inspection/reading, using logging to trace execution, and using IDE debugging tools with breakpoints and watches. 'Random checking' is not a structured debugging methodology - it lacks systematic approach and is unlikely to efficiently locate or resolve bugs.
