DEBUGGING IN ECLIPSE
The problem
debugging: to search and eliminate malfunctioning elements or errors
Shotgun debugging : the making of relatively undirected changes to software in the hope that a bug will be perturbed out of existence. This almost never works, and usually introduces more bugs.
Many students have been using shotgun debugging to solve errors in their code. One of the leading benefit in using Eclipse is it's debugging feature.
Our Mission
We will teach students to utilize the debugging feature in Eclipse. Using a test script of code, a user can follow a video and learn some of the features that goes along debugging in Eclipse.
Participants and props
3 students Camtasia Studio 5
The script
Follow along with the video, using the sample code provided. Should aid students in awareness of debugging benefits when using Eclipse.
