What is Debugging?
Debugging is the investigative work of turning a symptom—a crash, a wrong result, a failing test—into an understood cause and then a fix. It involves reproducing the problem reliably, narrowing down where behavior diverges from expectation, and inspecting state along the way. Rich diagnostics make it dramatically faster: traces, screenshots, videos, network logs, and DOM snapshots from a failed run let you see exactly what happened. Test artifacts captured on failure turn hours of guesswork into a quick review of the recorded evidence.
