Abstract

Debugging intermittent issues present a unique set of challenges and requirements to the developer. Of particular interest is question “did this fix actually solve the problem, or am I just getting lucky today?” This talk will show you how to determine, with some level of confidence, if the issue is really solved or just not showing up. In addition issues which only show up rarely have a habit of accumulating until some issue seems to be happening all the time. Techniques for untangling the interaction of multiple issues will be discussed.
