- About the Author
**Use Windows debuggers throughout the development cycle--and build better software** Rethink your use of Windows debugging and tracing tools--and learn how to make them a key part of test-driven software development. Led by a member of the Windows Fundamentals Team at Microsoft, you'll apply expert debugging and tracing techniques--and sharpen your C++ and C# code analysis skills--through practical examples and common scenarios. Learn why experienced developers use debuggers in every step of the development process, and not just when bugs appear. Discover how to: * Go behind the scenes to examine how powerful Windows debuggers work * Catch bugs early in the development cycle with static and runtime analysis tools * Gain practical strategies to tackle the most common code defects * Apply expert tricks to handle user-mode and kernel-mode debugging tasks * Implement postmortem techniques such as JIT and dump debugging * Debug the concurrency and security aspects of your software * Use debuggers to analyze interactions between your code and the operating system * Analyze software behavior with Xperf and the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) framework
