Debugging tactics can involve [[interactive]] debugging, [[control flow]] analysis, [[unit testing]], [[integration testing]], [[Logfile|log file analysis]], monitoring at the [[application monitoring|application]] or [[system monitoring|system]] level, [[memory dump]]sdumps, and [[profiling (computer programming)|profiling]]. Many programming languages and software development tools also offer programs to aid in debugging, known as ''[[debugger]]sdebuggers''.▼
