Fixing bugs during design is cheap, fixing them by debugging completed code is expensive.
I wholehardely agree and if we were as good as we think we are there would be no debugging :)

However, when "Fixing bugs during design" has been done fully, those left are usually requiring as much "finding help" as possible if to be found in a timely manner.

Mnay have misinterpreted my statements as "throw the code together and plug in the ICE" nothing could be farther from the truth. I will, at any time, do my utmost to write bug free code and will do a review before the tools are involved; however, when that fails I am "the ICE man"
