Diagnose broken code or failing tests using an 8-step structured investigation loop. Each technique is tried in order until root cause is found or all 8 are exhausted.
Initiate the diagnostic loop by providing an error description, failing test, or file path for analysis.

To find the root cause of a failing test, apply an 8-step structured investigation loop using techniques like minimal reproduction and pattern search. It systematically isolates undocumented failure triggers through disciplined execution.
Troubleshooting intermittent CI failures involves applying a stepwise debugging methodology like differential analysis and backward tracing. This structured loop identifies flaky test patterns and isolates underlying software defects.
Debugging a runtime error without an obvious trigger requires techniques like binary search and forward tracing. The structured loop isolates variables and narrows down the execution path to pinpoint the exact failure.
Yes, this structured debugging methodology works for large software projects by applying the 8-step investigation loop. It scales by systematically attempting techniques from binary search to hypothesis logging until the root cause is found.
If all 8 debugging steps are exhausted, the loop requires structured documentation of the findings gathered during the investigation. This documented state sharing from each step guides subsequent remediation efforts.
