Ask HN: Software Debugging Papers?
2 comments
Which resource should I read for developing better debug mental model?
I recommend https://www.amazon.com.br/Debugging-Indispensable-Software-H...
It has concrete points to focus when debugging and a bunch of examples for each. And it's easy to read as an introduction to the subject.

Software Debugging is to me the funnest part of software development, and it occurred to me to write a book on it, adding some of my experience to the area.
As an entry point to the book, I thought of writing a Review Paper on the subject, and as such, I have to read as many papers as I can find to review. So my question is: do you have a paper recommendation on Software Debugging that's not in the list below? Any other tips or advice on writing a paper are also welcome. Thanks much.
