# Debugging
Debugging is a term predominantly related to [computer](computer.md) technology (but at times extended beyond it) where it signifies the practice of actively searching for [bugs](bug.md) (errors, design flaws, defects, ...) and fixing them; most typically it occurs as part of software [programming](programming.md), but we may also talk about debugging [hardware](hardware.md) etc. Debugging is notoriously tedious and stressful, it can even take majority of the programmer's time and some bugs are extremely hard to track down, however systematic approaches can be applied to basically always succeed in fixing any bug. Debugging is sometimes humorously defined as "replacing old bugs with new ones".

[Fun](fun.md) fact: the term *debugging* allegedly comes from the old times when it meant LITERALLY getting rid of bugs that broke computers by getting stuck in the relays.
