There is a difference between debugging and testing. Debugging is what you do when your testing exposes a fault, so that you can find and fix it.

Finally someone who "gets it".


OH?

What if your optimized code fails the th test and your debugging code works?

What if some of your testing is inserting 'wild' values using the ICE?

What if you get a report of this pesky "about once a day ..." and your debuggin version run flawlessly.

What does it help that "There is a difference between debugging and testing" if you can not debug an error found in testing?
