I don't see this technique applied too often. I see more often:
- reading the affected code
- reproducing the problem step by step with a debugger
Which I guess works for all kinds of problems and not just for regressions, therefore people are more used to it?
- broast 3y agoMy thought is in a complex system the cause of the regression is not usually near the point of failure, so debugging can become unmanageable without the upfront effort of identifying a small set of changes that might be responsible, so you have some more places to set your breakpoints.
