Debugging #Java
summary
Claims that top developers find bugs in a third of the time and introduce less than half as many, then demonstrates concrete debugger moves: use evaluate expression to change locals, click the call‑stack back arrow to rewind a frame, and VisualVM heap dump to find static caches or listener leaks. Shows force‑run‑to‑cursor, conditional/pass‑count breakpoints, stream‑chain tracing inside lambdas, renderer views for objects, and links to Troubleshooting #Java and Why Programs Fail for deeper patterns.
