Chapter 11

Debugging Web Services

It is human nature to make mistakes. Each time I attempt to build a newly written block of code, the compiler reminds me just how frequently I make mistakes. Unfortunately, some mistakes will not be caught by the compiler and will surface as run-time bugs.

Many of these bugs will be caught by testers during the QA process. But testers are human as well, so every now and then a bug will find its way into the released application.

As long as programs are written and tested by humans, there will always be the need to locate and fix bugs throughout the project lifecycle. Fortunately, numerous resources are at the developer's disposal to help with the process of locating bugs.

In this chapter, I talk about many of the debugging tools provided by Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and the Microsoft .NET platform. If you take the time to learn how to use these tools, I guarantee that you will find plenty of opportunities to leverage your newfound skills.
