Debugging strategies
There are different debugging strategies to find the root cause of an issue. Before attempting to locate a bug in the application, it is critical to thoroughly understand the program or library. You can't find mistakes if you don't know what you're doing. Only if you have a thorough understanding of the system and how it operates will you be able to identify bugs in the application. Previous experience can aid in the detection of similar types of bugs as well as the resolution of bugs. The individual expert's knowledge determines how easily the developer can locate the bug. You can add debug print statements and breakpoints to analyze the flow of the program. You can do forward analysis or backward analysis to track the bug's location.
