What happened and what to do

Published on July 1, 2026, the open book The Art of Debugging has five chapters and is available in PDF and EPUB. Although much of the book covers Unix, Python, and PyTorch, its author says the methodology chapter applies to software debugging in general and may be useful to engineers working with other languages and platforms.

A company could respond by defining a debugging process shared across its teams: record symptoms and reproduction conditions, document hypotheses and tests, track recurring causes, and turn lessons into internal procedures. A diagnosis could identify gaps in the current workflow and guide the implementation of logging, monitoring, and dashboards to track incidents and reduce repeated failures.

How the consultancy can help

Wendelmaques can diagnose the debugging process and available data, scope an implementation of logging, monitoring, or dashboards, and support its operation based on the team's needs.
