Debugging is the process of identifying, analyzing, and fixing errors or defects ('bugs') in software code. Developers use tools like breakpoints, logging, stack traces, and debuggers (e.g., in IDEs like Visual Studio or Chrome DevTools) to trace the source of unexpected behavior. It's a fundamental skill for software engineers at every level, often consuming a significant portion of development time.
