Is there a way to find bugs in code, beyond using a classic debugger? I mean, a classic debugger can:
- Break execution on breakpoints (set by a programmer);
- Break execution on errors (exceptions in .NET);
- Show and change values of visible variables (when the execution is paused).

This is some other method I have included
- Code review: Having other developers review your code can help identify potential bugs.
- Logging: Adding logging statements to your code can help you track the flow of execution and identify where errors are occurring.
- Unit testing: Writing automated tests for individual units of code can help you catch bugs before they make it into production.
- Integration testing: Testing how different units of code work together can help you find bugs that may not be present in individual units.
- Performance profiling: Analyzing the performance of your code can help you identify bottlenecks and optimize your code.
- Fuzz Testing: This is a technique of providing random inputs to the software to test how it handles unexpected inputs.
- Static analysis: This process analyzes the code without executing it to find potential issues.
- Code coverage: This measures how much of the code is executed during testing.
- These are some of the common methods, however there are a lot more techniques that can be used depending on the requirements, complexity, and type of application.
