A Work in Progress, notes i’ve made for myself that I look at when something isn’t working right. I use this to make sure I am not missing something obvious. And it will give me a new strategy to look at the bug.
- Are you missing something obvious?
- What does my content do?
- How is my content triggered?
- What does the debug tell me?
- Is the debug lying?
- When did you hear something similar?
- Is the Identifier hiding the true link?
- Who would you give this bug to?
- Why?
- What would she tell you?
- What is your weakness? (Check this first)
- What is your strenght? (Are you assuming there is no mistake there?)
- Let some time go by
- Dont assume it’s somebody elses bug
- Start over with a blank canvas
- Read the Revision History
- Follow the cable from end to end (is it plugged in?)
- What you hear is not what you see (turn off your screen/close your eyes)
- What you see is not what you hear (turn off your speakers)
- Capture it and play it back
- Isolate it as much as possible.
- Reboot
What are your bug tracing Commandments?
